Brief history of the city

The initial mention of the tiny agglomeration was in the news for 1914. A railway station was built on the hill, connecting the manufactories located here with the district center itself, that is, with Klin.

Due to the predominance of the relief, the complex of industries was called Vysokovsky, identifying it with a separate village. And it became so in 1928, because thousands of workers needed dormitories, grocery stores and markets, bathhouses and pharmacies. In 1940, the residential area received the status of a full-fledged city. Less than a year later it was occupied by the Nazis, who were rushing to Moscow. The spinning and weaving mill was almost completely destroyed. Other buildings were also damaged.

However, until 1957 the city of Vysokovsk even continued to remain a regional center. However, now it is better known not for the production capacity indicated above, but for the “New Year’s” enterprise “Yelochka”.

Modernity

Today the city has surrounded itself with dachas and vegetable gardens, not really wanting to raise the chimneys of factory buildings into the sky. Even the Vysokovsk-Klin railway line, laid by the factory owners in 1911, experiences almost no load. But the Vysokovsk-Klin asphalt road is working at full capacity. Along it, from the Vysokovsky quarry, every day the mighty KAMAZ trucks transport clay to the Klinstroydetal enterprise, which produces up to 30 million bricks per year.

Products from the asphalt concrete plant, one of the bases of the State Unitary Enterprise MO Vysokovsky Avtodor, are also transported along this road. The company has three of its own bases with a total area of ​​10 hectares. Avtodor carries out construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance of highways, production and sale of building materials. Asphalt is mainly used to improve the streets and courtyards of the Klinsky district.

At the moment, the city also operates a factory for the production of Christmas tree decorations “Yelochka”. The factory produces more than 500 items of hand-blown and painted products. Bakery No. 2 is in operation.

More recently (2009), Trocellen RUS LLC, an enterprise producing cross-linked polyethylene foam, opened its doors in Vysokovsk.

The construction of the sports complex that had begun was stopped due to waste of money. Currently, officials explain that the project on which it was built was exactly the same as that of the tragically famous Transvaal Park, so construction was closed.

A new toll highway Moscow - St. Petersburg will pass near Vysokovsk.

Hotels in Vysokovsk

Hotels are also an integral part of local leisure activities. On the street Kuryatnikova, 99 there is a cozy motel. In it, tired wanderers are accommodated in apartments of the “Standard” category. They have a sauna at their disposal, where it is easy to warm up after a walk in inclement weather. You can also frolic in the mini-pool installed there. The bedroom windows overlook the highway leading either to the city of Volokolamsk or to the village of Kirovsky.

Hotels such as Klinskoye Zaozerye are in particular demand. Because vacationers are accommodated in Junior Suite rooms, which are also family rooms. Spacious. There is enough adult and children's furniture with satin bedspreads for everyone.

And you can find an attractive 2-level building in the Scandinavian style in Teterino - this is on the south-eastern outskirts of Vysokovsk (just 6 km from it). Along the descending road you will see six lakes, and after a few kilometers (behind Selinsky) you will see the sea formed from the river. Lipnya. Ponds extend from it. They are stocked especially for you. The paths lead into green, fragrant woods.

Finally, the hotel complex “Inspiration”, built at the entrance to Selinskoye (4.5 km from Vysokovsk), invites visitors to stay in not quite ordinary “Standards” and “Luxes” (capacity 2-3 people). The fact is that inside the spacious 3-storey townhouse, made of red brick, everything is subordinated to the “Elite” style - terraces, expensive vintage furniture, a luxurious dining room, paintings in the corridors and tapestries above the headboards, stylish curtains.

The beginning of the city was laid by a textile factory founded in 1879 by the “Partnership of the Vysokovskaya Manufactory”, at which a village grew up, named after the partnership Vysokoye and the village of New Bazar, which received its name, apparently, for the chaotic nature of its development. In 1864, merchants G.L. Kashaev and I.V. Vasiliev in the village of Nekrasino, part of the Petrovskaya volost of Klinsky district, founded a small factory with 50 machines. Its buildings were wooden and burned down. The owners had to build a new enterprise in 1877, this time made of stone, locating it not far from the same village, on the left bank of the Elm River. There were rich deposits of clay here. The owners built a small brick firing plant, which was used for the construction of factory buildings. Peasants flocked to the factory from the surrounding villages - Polushkino, Timonino, Olisovo, Dmitrakovo.

The 8th Tank Brigade launched an assault attack against the Nazi group located in the village of Yamuga. The Nazis were forced to retreat along a narrow snow-covered road.

December 16, 1941 the city was completely liberated from the fascist invaders, the front line moved to the west. Vysokovsk became a city of the rear and began to restore the destroyed economy.

Its products (satin, moleskin) are supplied to finishing enterprises in Moscow - the Trekhgornaya Manufactory plant and the Semenovsky finishing factory, as well as to Glukhovsky, Shchelkovsky, Serpukhovsky and other plants. In 1975, the Red Weaver factory, located in the village, was added to the Vysokovskaya spinning and weaving factory. Zubovo.

of Vysokovsk especially changed in the 60-70s. Its borders expanded: in 1960, the village of Nekrasino became part of the city. Housing construction began in the northwest direction along the highway. In place of a vacant lot along the Vysokovsk -Tretyakovo highway, a whole town has risen, symbolizing a new time. The old part of the city has also been transformed; a clinic, new shops, a pharmacy, a school, etc. have appeared here. Much work was carried out to heat residential buildings, and in 1968 gas came to the city.
