Solikamsk city on the map

As you might guess from the name, the city was founded by salt. In 1430, Vologda merchants Kalinikovs organized salt mines here. On the banks of the Usolka River (a tributary of the Kama), brine-lifting pipes and brewhouses were built for evaporating salt. Now you can clearly understand how everything was arranged in the Borovsky Salt Museum in Solikamsk or in the Khokhlovka Architectural and Ethnographic Museum near Perm.

Thanks to the salt, the settlement quickly grew and developed, soon becoming the salt capital of Russia. Salt was very valuable at that time (no worse than oil today).

The importance of Solikamsk grew greatly with the opening of the Babinovskaya road to Siberia here (a milestone in memory of the Babinovskaya road can now be seen on the city’s Cathedral Square).

In the 20th century, the largest deposits of potassium and potassium-magnesium salts were discovered here. The potash industry is currently the main pillar of the city's economy.

Solikamsk is included in the list of historical cities; it has many cultural and historical attractions, including federal ones. Thousands of people come here every year to see them, including guests from other countries.

Let us dwell on the most interesting sights of the city, among which temples predominate. In total, there are 12 stone churches in Solikamsk, each of them has its own history and its own characteristics; we will tell here only about the most beautiful and interesting ones.

Holy Trinity Cathedral in Solikamsk

This old five-domed cathedral in the historical center of Solikamsk was built in 1684-97.
It was the main temple of the city. A round tile with the image of a double-headed eagle was installed in the southern wall of the temple, and on the western wall there was a relief crown made of brick. Only the crown has survived to this day. The Holy Trinity Cathedral is distinguished by its rich decoration; its stone lace is very beautiful. The two massive porches of the temple are also interesting. In 1929, the temple was closed and a museum was placed here. During the Great Patriotic War, it received valuable evacuated exhibits from the central part of the country. Currently, the history department of the Solikamsk Museum of Local Lore is located here. Museum phone number: +7 (34253) 54518.

Holy Trinity Cathedral is an architectural monument of federal significance, one of the main symbols of Solikamsk.

History of the city of Solikamsk

Source of historical information about the city of Solikamsk: V.V. Kostochkin “Cherdyn, Solikamsk, Usolye.” M. "Stroizdat", 1988

Solikamsk is much younger than Cherdyn. There was a time when the name of this picturesque town, which has now become a major industrial center of the Kama region, was not only written, but also pronounced separately. The largest river in the Urals, the Kama River, and table salt, mined on the Usolka River flowing into it, gave Solikamsk life and a colorful name.

The history of Salt Kamskaya is the history of the development of distant Siberia, the history of the development of the salt industry in Rus' and the development of the natural resources of the vast Perm region.

It is assumed that the foundation of Salt Kama, which later became famous thanks to its rich salt mines, was laid in 1430, when the enterprising townspeople Kalinikovs, who organized the boiling of salt on the Borovitsa River, above the village of Borovoye, due to the weak concentration of the salt brine obtained there, moved their simple fishing equipment to the south, to the shore of Usolka, where the occurrence of salt layers was less deep and the strength of the brine was much higher. At the end of the 15th century, a small fishing village was formed here on Usolka. True, at the beginning of the next century this village was devastated by the Tyumen people, who captured its few inhabitants, but despite this, it quickly resumed its activities, and in 1558 it received wooden fortifications and thereby turned into a city.

In 1559, most of the wooden buildings of Sol Kama burned down, but the city was soon rebuilt. According to the scribal book of Ivan Yakhontov, compiled in 1579, there were 190 philistine households, 26 trading shops, 16 salt pans and 201 inhabitants - people from Vologda, Veliky Ustyug, Ust-Sysolsk, Balakhna and Cherdyn. It then became the center of the vast Usolsky district, the population of which, while boiling salt in the settlement, was also engaged in collecting firewood for the boilers, agriculture, handicrafts and trade. Only the unexpected attack of the Pelym prince Kikhek in 1582, during which the Solikamsk pasad was burned, part of the Solikamsk residents were killed and neighboring villages were destroyed, suspended the life of the city, but its restoration did not last long this time either.

With the final annexation of Siberia and the increased settlement of the Northern and Middle Urals, the number of Solikamsk residents, despite the harsh climatic conditions and low soil fertility, begins to steadily increase. The growth of the salt mining industry in Kamskoye Usolye is increasingly increasing the economic importance of the city. The “sovereign Verkhoturskaya road” has a special influence on its development, which turned Sol Kamskaya into the main transshipment point in front of the Ural ridge. Coachmen appear in it, conducting caravans to Verkhoturye and back, it becomes an important transport hub on the “sovereign Verkhoturye road”.

In 1614, the Moscow government even gave orders to the governor of nearby Cherdyn to carry out repairs to the Solikamsk fortifications, so that “thieves’ people” would not come to “the city and the fort unknown and do something bad.”

At the beginning of the 17th century, the advantageous location of Salt Kama on the “sovereign” road, which firmly connected the center of the country with distant Siberia, affected its development even more strongly. ...

Judging by the scribe book of Mikhail Kaisarov, compiled in 1624, in Solikamsk at that time there were 357 households, 67 shops, 37 varnitsa and more than 620 only male residents.

Sol Kama began to develop especially intensively in the second quarter of the 17th century, after a huge fire in 1635, which destroyed 11 churches and left only a “small matter” in three places on the settlement. Simultaneously with the development of the country's national economy, the city of Solikamsk is also developing. Among Solikamsk salt workers there appear people who are strangers to Solikamsk Posad. Having accumulated funds in the sphere of exchange and trade, they invested money in the Solikamsk salt mines, which were then the main source of wealth of the city and surrounding lands. As a result, the number of salt brewhouses of Kama Salt began to increase rapidly. The administrative role of the city is also expanding. In 1636, the governor’s residence was transferred here, from Cherdyn, to the former Cherdyn “suburb,” and control of the entire region was concentrated.

The industrial development of the city was not affected even by terrible fires, which were the result not only of the lack of basic fire-fighting conditions during salt boiling, but also of deliberate arson, caused either by the revenge of desperate working people, or by the competition of salt industrialists who did not disdain any means to cause damage to their business rivals . They destroyed not only individual streets with their houses, outbuildings, industrial buildings and churches, but also the entire city as a whole. Such a fire in 1672 destroyed the city almost completely.

However, Kama Salt, like a phoenix, always rose from the ashes. According to the census of 1678–1679, in Solikamsk Posad there were 513 households of local residents and 318 huts that belonged to people who came to the city to work. The total number of inhabitants was 2257 males only.

By the end of the 17th century, Sol Kama turned into the largest salt-making center of the state: more than 200 saltworks were already operating in it and its surroundings.

And at the end of the 17th century, when Sol Kama, playing a leading role in the life of the Urals, reached the zenith of commercial and industrial development, large stone construction began there.

Religious buildings were then built mainly from stone (brick). They were placed both in the city center and on its outskirts. Solikamsk residents erected them as usual on the sites of old churches destroyed by fires in 1688 and 1695. These were separate structures, but some of them later became the basis of architectural complexes. Along with richly decorated stone churches, stone residential buildings of wealthy residents also appeared on the streets of Solikamsk.

Such extensive construction as unfolded in Solikamsk at the end of the 17th century had never happened in the Kama region. Having introduced new elements into the artistic appearance of the city, the main buildings of which still remained wooden, it continues at the beginning of the next century, gradually spreading beyond its borders. Thanks to him, the famous salt mine becomes the main center of construction culture throughout the region, the trendsetter of its artistic fashion. It is experiencing the most rapid period of its development. His fame spreads throughout the country. His buildings are known in Moscow and spoken about in the cities of Siberia.

Along with the “stone builders,” local painters also worked in Solikamsk at the beginning of the 18th century, carpenters, joiners and woodcarvers worked, blacksmiths, potters and other artisans produced their products. Their fruitful activity on city construction projects soon attracted the attention of Peter 1, who then began hastily building a new state capital on the Neva. And it is no coincidence that in 1703, by royal decree, Solikamsk blacksmiths were sent to Tikhvin and Taganrog “to the city building”, and in 1710, Solikamsk carpenters, joiners and boilermakers were taken to St. Petersburg construction sites.

Then Peter 1 paid attention to Solikamsk itself, which had already changed greatly. In 1722, by his order, even the “academy teacher” Stepan Zherebtsov was sent to the city, obliged to teach the children of local residents “arithmetic and geometric sciences.” This was the period of the highest development of the “salt capital” of the Russian Empire, the time of its rapid economic recovery and cultural growth. The city at that time already occupied a significant territory and was larger than at the beginning of the 18th century...

Large construction works were carried out in Solikamsk in the third quarter of the 18th century. However, this time they were caused not so much by the growth of the city’s economy, but by two enormous fires that followed each other in mid-1743.

The July fire of 1743 was especially severe, taking 16 lives and destroying 700 town houses, not counting the shopping arcades and the large bridge across Usolka, as well as public buildings. After this fire, which even melted the bells of two churches, only two wooden churches and 20 houses survived in Solikamsk. It was a terrible disaster that caused the departure of many fire victims to Kungur, Stepanovo fortification and Cherdyn... However, rather, the city rose again from the ashes. Not only the courtyards of its eminent residents and the houses of ordinary people were rebuilt, but also all the burnt stone churches, with their chapels and bell towers, were repaired, on which new bells were soon hung; they were specially cast in 1746 and 1747 in Cheboksary.

During this colossal restoration construction, interrupted by smaller fires in 1753 and 1759, the general planning structure of the city began to be streamlined. Its blocks become even more rectangular, its streets and alleys become wider and more rectilinear.

This was also a turbulent period in the construction development of the famous trade, as during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The construction of the office building in 1781 and the approval of the Solikamsk coat of arms in 1783 (a salt well with a bucket lowered into it on a golden background) were, as it were, its final stage.

However, in the second half of the 18th century, the salt-making industry of Salt Kama, which had developed so much towards the end of the 17th century, no longer played a significant role in the city’s economy. From the beginning of the 18th century, due to the introduction of a state monopoly on salt in 1705 and changes in the conditions of its production and sales, the share of the Solikamsk industry began to rapidly decline. The sharp decline in local salt production was also facilitated by the growth in open-pit extraction of self-planted salt from the Volga lakes Elton and Baskunchak. This led to a decrease in the number of Kama Salt breweries. Some of them were simply not restored after the fires. And if in 1724 there were 44 saltworks in Solikamsk Posad, then in 1743 there were only 34 of them, and in 1760 their number dropped to 23. The city is losing its significance as the main center of Russian salt production, which, due to the creation of a large metallurgical industry, ceases altogether to be the leading site of Russian production, and in 1816 there was no longer a single operating brewery left in it.

With the advent of the new Siberian route, which passed from Kazan through Perm and Kungur to Yekaterinburg, founded in 1721, Solikamsk by the end of the 18th century also lost its significance as a shopping center (it became apart from this route). With the transfer of the provincial chancellery to Kungur in 1738, Solikamsk ceased to be the administrative center of the region.

Today Solikamsk is a major center of modern chemistry, but the city has still retained the basis of the old regular layout.

Epiphany Church in Solikamsk

The five-domed Epiphany Church with a bell tower was built in 1688-95 at the expense of parishioners in the Moscow Baroque style. The facades of the church are decorated with rich stone carvings. In 1934 the church was closed, then in 1943-62 services were held here again. Currently, in the Church of the Epiphany there is a department of ancient Russian art of the Solikamsk Museum of Local Lore. One of the most valuable exhibits is the icon of St. Nicholas, given, according to legend, to the residents of Solikamsk by Ivan the Terrible. Inside the temple, the church decoration has been preserved, and the wooden carved iconostasis has been restored. Here you can see ancient icons of the 17th - 18th centuries. Recently the temple was restored, becoming a real decoration of the city.

How to get to the city of Solikamsk:

The route is designed for standard passenger cars.
The distance from Ekaterinburg is about 570 km, from Perm - about 210 km. You can travel from Yekaterinburg to Solikamsk in two ways:

1) From Yekaterinburg we leave towards Nizhny Tagil. N. Tagil we pass along the bypass road - after passing the town of Verkhnyaya Tura, we follow the signs towards the town of Chusovaya, Perm Territory, focusing on the village of Promysla. Next we pass Promysla - Gremyachinsk - village. Usva - Solikamsk.

2) From Yekaterinburg we leave towards the city of Perm - then we go to the city of Solikamsk.

The distance in both cases is approximately the same, about 570 km..

Voivode's House in Solikamsk

The voivode's stone house, built in 1688, is very interesting. This is the oldest stone civil structure in the Perm region. The thickness of the walls of the house reaches two meters. The building has preserved internal passages and loopholes. In addition, several underground passages led from the governor’s house. Now here is the historical department of the local history museum: here you can get acquainted with the early history of the city and see the interior of the 17th-century executive hut.

Development of transport infrastructure

The total length of roads in Solikamsk is 326.6 km, and with hard surfaces – 261.2 km. A regional highway runs through the city, along which intercity buses travel. Nowadays, motor transport is the main type of intercity transport, which creates a large load on this transport network. Within the city, this was facilitated by the growth in the number of cars and road freight transport.

Therefore, an important direction in the development of the transport network is to improve the quality of intracity roads and carry out timely repairs.

The problem of providing railway transport is also acute. To meet these goals, it is planned to implement a project for the construction of a bypass section of Berezniki and the Belkomur line.

Ust-Borovsk salt plant - salt museum

Solikamsk bears its name for a reason.
The city was founded during the salt mines on the banks of the Usolka River. Its name has always been associated with salt: Usolye on Kamskoye, Usolye Kamskoye and even simply - Kamskaya Salt. Today, at the former Ust-Borovsky plant there is a museum where visitors can learn the history of salt production in our country in the 17th-20th centuries, and at the same time explore a unique historical and architectural complex - a monument of wooden architecture in the open air.

History Salt gave life and name to Solikamsk. The city arose during the salt mines, organized by merchants Kalinikovs who came from Vologda. Around 1430 they built brine pipes and brewhouses on the banks of the Usolka. Initially, the city was called in the chronicle of 1506 Usolye on Kamskoye, later Usolye Kamskoye, and from the 17th century Sol Kamskaya.

Industrial structures - pipes, towers above them, chests for storing brine, brewhouses, barns - were the first buildings of the new settlement. In 1472, the lands in the upper reaches of the Kama, together with Perm the Great, joined the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Favorable geographical location and rich reserves of salt springs. The city suffered more than once from raids by nomadic tribes and fires, but was always restored. According to the scribe books of the 1620s, there were 16 forges in Solikamsk, mainly serving salt-making industries; in the 1630s, deposits of copper ore were discovered near the city and the Pyskorsky copper smelter was established. In the 17th century Solikamsk, which was a major transit transshipment point on the way to Siberia, became an important economic and administrative center. A big role in this was played by Artemy Babinov’s discovery of a direct road to the upper reaches of the Tura River and the founding of the city of Verkhoturye (1597). Since 1613, a voivodeship government was established in Solikamsk (until 1780). By the end of the 17th - beginning of the 18th centuries. Solikamsk was the largest saltworks in Russia. At that time, Kama salt provided more than half of all salt sold in the country. By the end of the 17th century, with the establishment of trade relations with China, Solikamsk became a transit and trade center between Moscow and Beiping (Beijing); A large stone construction project is underway. During this period, Solikamsk was the most significant commercial and industrial city of the Kama region; its economic importance went far beyond the Urals. In the 17th century The copper smelting industry is developing. Near the village of Grigorovo, near Solikamsk, mines were founded in 1633, and in 1634 the first copper smelter in Russia was built (in 1635 it was moved to Pyskor). In 1731, 2 km from Solikamsk, the Turchaninovs built a second copper smelter, and near it in 1742 - a copper utensils factory (sets for the imperial family and samovars were made). At the end of the 17th century. Sol Kama reached the zenith of commercial and industrial development, playing a leading role in the life of the Urals, being a transit trade, customs, military-administrative and religious center. In connection with the growth of open-pit mining of salt in the Volga region and the emergence of a new Siberian route by the end of the 17th century. the city loses its significance as a shopping center and the main center of Russian salt production and turns into a county town.

In 1731, in the village of Krasnoye near Solikamsk, Grigory Demidov created the first private botanical garden in Russia, and in the late 60s. XVIII century A.F. Turchaninov in his estate has a second botanical garden, which is of great scientific, practical and educational interest. By the beginning of the 19th century. In the city there was a soap factory, a glass factory, 7 tanneries, and a handicraft bell factory. By the middle of the 19th century. trade dies down. However, from the second half of the 19th century. a new economic upswing in Solikamsk begins, old salt factories are improved and new salt factories are built (in 1860, 164.4 thousand pounds of salt were boiled down, in 1900 - 3.4 million pounds). By the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries. in the city there were 2 tanneries, 5 establishments for the production of leather goods, a carpentry and iconostasis enterprise, 2 brick factories and a winery, over 20 forges, 24 trading establishments and a bank were opened; barges were being built. At the beginning of the 20th century. in Solikamsk there were women's and men's gymnasiums, 4 schools, a forestry school, 3 public libraries, and a cinema. On January 31 (February 13), 1918, Soviet power was proclaimed in Solikamsk, and the zemstvo and city governments were abolished. On February 25, 1918, the district center was moved from the city of Solikamsk to the village of Novoye Usolye. In November 1923, Solikamsk became the regional center of the Verkhne-Kama Okrug and at the same time lost its status as a city, becoming a village. By decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of April 5, 1926, Solikamsk returned its city status. In September 1928, the administrative center of the Verkhne-Kama Okrug was moved from the city of Usolye to Solikamsk.

City of Solikamsk

In the 20s of the 20th century, Solikamsk was one of the centers of industrial development of all-Union significance. The only deposit of potassium-magnesium salts on the territory of the USSR becomes the center of industry development. In the 1920s, tens of thousands of political prisoners, special settlers, and exiles were forcibly brought to Solikamsk, with a population of 5,000 people. The city becomes one of the islands of the Gulag archipelago. During the time of Stalin's terror, thousands of repressed people were shot and buried in the area near Solikamsk. In 1941, 800 repressed Latvians from occupied Latvia were brought to Solikamsk, most of them died here. The Museum of the History of the Potassium Industry of Russia is working to study and preserve the memory of those repressed. During the years of industrialization, money from the Solikamsk carnallite plant circulated in the city, which became a bonistic rarity. Over time, the borders of Solikamsk expanded significantly; in 1959, the city of Borovsk, located in the north near the river, was included in its composition. Borovoy, 6 km from the center. With the development of the potash industry in the city, in the river valley. Klestovka, the modern microdistrict Klestovka grew up.

Natural resources The city is located within the unique Verkhnekamsk deposit of potassium and potassium-magnesium salts. In the depths there are large reserves of sodium chloride salts.

Potassium ore The raw materials of the deposit are complex; the ore contains rare and trace elements: bromine, rubidium, cesium, magnesium, etc. Near the Solikamsk railway station there is a deposit of construction sands and a sand-gravel mixture. The natural resources of Solikamsk are rich in a diverse range of mineral waters of industrial and medicinal value. (also see Preobrazhensky, Pavel Ivanovich).

Economy Solikamsk is one of two economic centers of the Berezniki-Solikamsk industrial region, the territory of which is economically a single whole, which contributes to the development of close industrial and technical ties between enterprises in Berezniki and Solikamsk. In 2010, industrial enterprises of the city shipped goods of their own production and performed work and services in the amount of 49,444.6 million rubles at current prices. In general, the total volume of goods shipped, work performed and services provided in January-December of the current year increased by 1.1 times compared to the same period last year. The economic profile of the city is determined by the mining and chemical industry (extraction of potassium salts and production of mineral fertilizers) - OJSC Silvinit (since 2011 OJSC Uralkali), enterprises of the timber industry - OJSC Solikamskbumprom, logging plant, as well as the metallurgical industry - magnesium production, based on the processing of potassium-magnesium salts of OJSC Solikamsk Magnesium Plant. The city also has mechanical engineering enterprises (mechanical repair plant), construction organizations, food industry enterprises (meat processing plant, dairy plant, etc.), defense - the largest military-industrial plant in Eastern Europe, guarded by military personnel of military unit 3426-B. The most powerful industrial sector of the city is the potash industry. The design capacity of the 3 potash mines included in OJSC Uralkali is 3203.2 thousand tons of potash fertilizers per year. Currently, the city has great export potential due to the high level of development of basic chemistry and metallurgy (production of magnesium and rare earth elements). Today, the products of Solikamsk enterprises are supplied to more than 60 countries around the world. Solikamsk has great tourist and recreational opportunities.

Administrative division In territorial planning terms, the city is divided into the following parts: Southern part (the center, located mainly along the Usolka River, with a significant number of administrative buildings, architectural and historical monuments (churches, buildings of the 19th and early 20th centuries); microdistricts - Verkhniy and Nizhny Bolnichny, Krasnoye, 3rd microdistrict of potassium workers, Klestovka; as well as a number of large villages (Kaliyets, Shakhtyorsky, Rubtsovo), which are adjacent to the divisions of Uralkali OJSC, the magnesium plant and others.) Northern part - Borovsk microdistrict (in 1949 - 1959, a city gravitating towards the Solikamsk Pulp and Paper Mill and the Kama River) Between the southern and northern parts of the city is approximately 6 km. Between them there are industrial zones, warehouses, bases, gas stations, as well as garden plots.

There is a closed airport 12 km from the city. Back in 2004, it was possible to fly from Solikamsk to Moscow, and in the summer there were flights to Anapa and Sochi. The city has access to the Unified deep-water system of the European part of Russia along the Kama River. In the future, Solikamsk will become a supporting link in the construction of the “highway of the 21st century” - the Belkomur road, which will connect the regions of Siberia and the Urals with ports in Arkhangelsk and Murmansk, shortening this route by 800 kilometers. After ground subsidence in Berezniki as a result of a man-made disaster, passenger traffic along the Yayva-Berezniki railway line was stopped. As a result, the cities of Solikamsk and Berezniki were left without railway connections with the outside world. The management of the Russian Railways company decided to build a new bypass railway line. Construction was completed in 2009, and in the spring of 2010 traffic was opened to bypass the dangerous area.

Tourism In 1970, the city was included in the list of historical cities, which includes 67 monuments of cultural history, 26 architectural monuments (23 of them are of federal significance), among which the leading place is occupied by the Trinity Cathedral.

Spasskaya and Arkhangelsk churches

In ancient times, there was a wooden Kremlin in Solikamsk. Today, only a few buildings have survived on this territory, one of which is the Spasskaya Church (1 May St., 45), erected on the site of a burnt temple at the end of the 17th century. Several years ago, the existing temple was restored, so now it looks elegant and stands out in the city.

Next to Spasskaya there is another church - Archangel Michael (1 May St., 43). This is a very small temple with a single dome in the center, which, although it has survived to this day, is in poor condition and is currently closed for restoration. In addition, the original architectural plan was distorted several times by reconstructions.

The Arkhangelsk Church was heated from the first day, so it worked all year round, but the Spasskaya Church was cold and received parishioners only in the summer.

Address: st. May 1, 43.
