The city of Osa - the pearl of the Kama region: history, attractions and photos

Osa city

Quiet, cozy, calm. There are unusually few people and transport on the streets. The air is somehow different compared to the metropolis. I am sure that many who were born here and then left have returned to their homeland more than once.

The population of Osa is about 21 thousand. The telephone code is +7 342-91. Distance 142 kilometers along the highway southwest of Perm. The city is washed on three sides by rivers, including the Kama.

Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God

The Kazan Church was built at the end of the 19th century on the site of a wooden cemetery church. The architecture of the temple is dominated by the spirit of eclecticism. The church is single-altared, crowned with five decorative domes and a multi-tiered bell tower under the original onion dome.

In the 30s In the 20th century, the church was closed, but in 1944 it was reopened for services, and it was the only operating church in the Osinsky region. In the 1990s, restoration work was carried out on the church, and in 2007 the main dome was repaired. Currently, the Kazan Church has been given the status of an architectural monument of regional significance.

Location: Yuzhnaya street - 4.

Coat of arms

In the 1780s, Osa became a city, and it became necessary to create a coat of arms. Officials proposed placing a hive with flying bees in the lower part.

The idea arose because Bashkirs lived around the city and were engaged in beekeeping. The Metropolitan Commission on Heraldry made adjustments. The hive was placed on a tree.

Another option with wasp nests was proposed, but it did not correspond to the historical past. In 1988, a new coat of arms was approved in the form of a shield, divided by a blue Kama ribbon into green and red parts.

Later they returned to the old coat of arms - a shield divided in half. On top is a silver bear with the Gospel on the back. At the bottom is a hive on a tree.

Kul Osinsky, Rhapsody of Love

In Osa you can see many interesting sights. Merchant houses, ancient shopping arcades, and buildings of the district and voivodeship offices have been preserved here. Arriving in the historical center of this city, it is as if you are transported back to the 19th century.

Among tourists, the composition “Kul Osinsky” is of greatest interest, reminiscent of the city’s main trade in the old days. Half a century ago, matting coolies were made here; they were in great demand not only in the Perm province, but also beyond its borders. According to legend, the sculpture makes wishes come true. Vacationers often climb inside to take an original photograph.

In front of the Palace of Culture there is a landmark with the beautiful name “Rhapsody of Love”. This is a heart made of nickel tubes. Local newlyweds come here to make a wish and walk through the sculpture (then it will definitely come true). In the Palace of Culture, the Winter Garden deserves great attention.

Near the local history museum you can see a bas-relief dedicated to the Kaluzhenin brothers, who founded the city. There is also a reconstruction of part of the Osinsk fortress. From here you have a beautiful view of the Kama River. During your trip, you should also definitely visit the Valley of Waterfalls near Elovo (you can get here by car from the town of Osa in just 40 minutes).

Thus, Osa is a city that will be of interest to all inquisitive people . A holiday here will allow you to touch the wonderful moments of the history of the Fatherland.

Hymn

A marvelous city with the name Osa was born for work and for peace. And as the centuries go by, it only becomes more beautiful. Chorus: Native, beloved city! You are dear to all Aspen residents.

Attractions

The Osa Local History Museum is located at: Sverdlova Street, 2. Telephone: +7 (34291) 4-70-03. Open from Tuesday to Sunday. Entrance tickets from 30 rubles.

Unfortunately, we were not able to visit there; it was a non-working day. We will definitely come here again. We walked around the neighborhood near the museum.

The first time we went in the dark to take photographs. But the entire surrounding area near the museum is not illuminated in the evening. Even with the flash, all the pictures turned out unsuccessful.

Therefore, I had to go again, but in the very morning before leaving for Perm. Instead of a museum, there used to be a Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, founded in 1824.

Not far from the museum is the Holy Trinity Cathedral - a project by Alexander Turchevich. It operated until 1930, after which the building was used for economic needs.

In 2004, the western part was restored. In 2006, new domes and crosses were installed. When we passed the cathedral for the first time, we saw broken glass and thought that it was abandoned.

Nearby there are obelisks dedicated to those killed in the war. Monument to the legendary IS-2 tank, a large monument to grandfather Lenin.

On the streets of Osa you can find many ancient buildings. On Lenina, 2 - Ostrog, built in 1828, used as a prison. Lenina, 4A trading gostiny dvor.

Interesting museums

The clock museum has been operating in the city for a short time; it was opened in 2015 with money from a local native. The collection includes about 200 items from the 19th and 20th centuries, and is constantly being updated with new exhibits.

Since the mid-20th century, the building of the Assumption Cathedral has housed a local history museum. During the reconstruction of the church it had to be moved. Since 1987, the museum has again functioned in the building of the former temple. On the excursion you can see a variety of historical values:

• paintings;
• coins;
• watch.

There is also a huge exhibition dedicated to Bereng. The main exhibit is a diorama called “The Capture of the Osa Fortress by Pugachev”, the size of which is 160 square meters.

The nature museum showcases the richness of the city's flora and fauna. The exhibition includes more than 300 species of animals, plants and minerals. The unique “Osinsky Globe” is located here, clearly showing the geographical connections of the Perm Territory with literally the entire planet.

It is recommended to pay special attention to the diorama “Nature of the Osinsky Kama Region”. It is divided into 4 parts, each of which illustrates one of the seasons. The museum also displays a herbarium of plants and an interesting collection of stuffed animals.

Origin of the name Osa

There are several versions:

1. According to one of them, the city got its name thanks to an insect. Collecting honey was the main industry of the local residents.
2. According to another, the name appeared due to Pugachev’s attack. The town is small and bites like a wasp. However, the city received its name long before the capture of the fortress by Pugachev.
3. The third version is that the city of Osa is based on the ancient settlement of the Khante (Ostyaks).
4. The fourth is named after the Osinka river. From the Vogul language it means “grayling fish”.
5. Fifth - 700-800 years ago, on the site of Osa there was an ancient Arab settlement, serving as a stopover in the middle of the route from Bulgaria (Kazan) to Cherdyn. Middle from Arabic "osat un".

Holy Trinity Cathedral

This temple is the symbol of the city of Osa. The church was built several years before the February Revolution of 1917 in the Russian-Byzantine style. The temple is very large - 44 meters high, it is the second largest in the Perm diocese.

The building is decorated with amazing red brick patterns; inside there are three iconostases, icons for which were painted by famous Moscow painters.

During the years of Soviet power, the temple housed a local history museum, tractor workshops, an ice storage warehouse, a gym, and a bus station. Only in 2004 the temple was re-consecrated, and it began to fulfill its religious purpose. Currently, the temple is crowned with a four-meter cross and four domes with crosses. In good weather, thanks to its favorable location, the cathedral can be seen from many kilometers away.

Location: Stepan Razin street - 2.
