First mentioned as the village of Glukhovichi

in the payment book of the Perevitsky camp in 1594-1597, as the patrimony of the Ryazan archbishop.

In 1744, there were 197 male souls in Lukhovitsy.

In 1764, after the secularization of church lands, Lukhovitsy became an economic village, and in the 19th century - a state village.

In the middle of the 19th century, the Ryazan road passed through Lukhovitsy, which led to its growth due to the development of crafts and trade. The village becomes the center of the volost and the center of the second camp of the Zaraisky district and the apartment of the bailiff are located in it.

In 1864, the Moscow-Ryazan railway began operating; the Lukhovitsy station was located three km from the village of Lukhovitsy.

In 1929, the Lukhovitsk lands were transferred from the Ryazan province to the newly created Moscow region. The lands of the Zaraisky district were transferred to its composition from the former Ryazan province, and new districts were allocated from them - Beloomutsky with the center in Beloomut and Lukhovitsky with the center at the Lukhovitsy station.

In January 1931, the Moscow Regional Executive Committee adopted a resolution on the merger of the Beloomutsky and Lukhovitsky districts. The district center was moved to Gorki station (now Fruktovaya), and the united district began to be called Gorkinsky.

In September 1931, by decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, the district center was moved from Gorki station again to Lukhovitsy station, and the district again began to be called Lukhovitsky. With the formation of the regional center, the station village began to grow rapidly.

On June 20, 1957, the workers' village of Lukhovitsy was transformed into a city of regional subordination with the same name. And the city included the nearby villages of Lukhovitsy, Sushkovo and the villages of Zlobino and Kunakovo.

On December 29, 2016, the urban district of Lukhovitsy was formed, which included the urban settlements of Lukhovitsy and Beloomut, the rural settlements of Astapovskoye, Gazoprovodskoye, Golovachevskoye, Dedinovskoye, Krasnopoimovskoye, Fruktovskoye, and the city of Lukhovitsy became its administrative center [1].

On April 7, 2022, Lukhovitsy received the status of a city of regional subordination of the Moscow region [2].

The main enterprise of the city is the aviation "Lukhovitsky Machine-Building Plant", part of the MiG corporation.

Description and location on the map of Russia

The city is the administrative center of the district of the same name and belongs to the Moscow region. The area of ​​the settlement is slightly more than 16 square meters.
km, the population is more than 30 thousand people. Of course, the city of Lukhovitsa has its own flag and coat of arms - the author of the coat of arms was the local artist Yuri Pimenov.

Back in the 17th century, only 100-200 people lived in this place, but after the Second World War the number of residents increased sharply. This was due to the development of the machine-building plant: the city began to be populated by workers and improved. However, in the 1990-2000s, the number of residents decreased again. Only since 2015, statistics have shown a population increase of up to 30 thousand people.

Please note: on the map the city is located between Moscow and Ryazan; Kolomna, Zaraysk and Rybnoye can also serve as landmarks.

Lukhovitsy is located in a temperate continental climate, which has a positive effect on the weather: in summer the average temperature is +22-24 degrees, in winter - -8-12 degrees. But things are worse with clear days: on average there are about 25 of them per year.

Population

Urbanization
62.19% of the district's population live in urban areas (the city of Lukhovitsy and the working village of Beloomut).

City `s history

Despite its modest size, it has a rather interesting history. It began at the end of the 14th century with the appearance on the right bank of the Oka of the Perevitsk fortress, which stood on the border of the Ryazan principality. It was assumed that the structure would protect the city's borders. After the seizure of Ryazan by the Principality of Moscow, the town quickly fell into decay; its lands were transferred to landowners for arable land.

This is interesting: some neighboring villages (Lyubichi, Dedinovo and others), on the contrary, rose to prominence due to their location near the trade route, as well as the development of fishing and tavern industries.

The village of Glukhovichi (as Lukhovitsy was then called) was first mentioned at the very end of the 16th century as the possession of the Archbishop of Ryazan. The population was small at that time: in the middle of the 18th century, less than 200 men lived here.

In the middle of the 19th century, the Ryazanskoye Highway ran through the village, and a railway from Moscow to Ryazan was built, which led to population growth and the development of trade and crafts. The population already numbered more than 200 households and about 1.3 thousand people, the village became the center of the volost. However, the main occupation of the residents remained agriculture: half of the area of ​​the volost was occupied by arable land, the other half by forests.

Lukhovitsy did not play any significant role during the revolution: the majority of peasants supported the Bolsheviks. At the beginning of the Second World War, near the village of Tretyakovo, not far from Lukhovitsy, a field airfield was built for aircraft defending Moscow in the south and southeast.

It is worth noting: after the end of the war, the main development of the village began: a machine-building plant for the production of aircraft was built on the basis of the airfield. Tests of the latest military aircraft were also carried out here: for example, the Il-28 was tested here for the first time, and MiG-29 fighters rolled off the assembly line.

In 1957, the village received the status of a city, which also included the villages of Zlobino and Sushkovo, and the village of Kunakovo. Active housing construction began, shops, schools and museums appeared, and industry developed rapidly. Today, on the territory of Lukhovitsy there are a sewing factory, a flour mill, a dairy factory for the production of disposable medical syringes, corrugated cardboard and spare parts for diesel locomotive engines, as well as Mars LLC.

Why is the city called “Lukhovitsy”? Wikipedia gives us three versions of the origin of this name. Which of them is the most accurate and true - scientists are still arguing.

Sights of the city of Lukhovitsy

Due to the modest size of the town, it may seem that there is nothing to see here, but this is not true. Lukhovitsy is home to several interesting museums and temples, as well as interesting and unusual sculptures.

Buildings and constructions

Lukhovitsy cannot boast of particularly rich architectural features: the city developed after the Second World War, and today it is a mixture of wooden private houses and small houses of 2-4 floors. Taller buildings are gradually appearing in the center.

Station square Lukhovits

In Lukhovitsy there are several libraries and schools, a gymnasium and three lyceums, a branch of the Moscow Pedagogical University and a branch of the Russian Academy of Tourism (College of Management), a music school and a center for the development of creativity, and several museums. Sports life is represented by a stadium, a health complex and a children's sports school.

Museum of Local Lore

It is also called the historical and art museum. The building is made in the form of a carved mansion with a hipped roof that stretches to the ground. From a distance, this shape resembles a wigwam. The exhibition is dedicated to the history of the town from its very foundation, as well as the current state and representatives of the local flora and fauna.

In the first hall, visitors will find everyday items that were used by residents several centuries ago: clothes and shoes, weapons, farming tools, spinning wheels, dishes, icons, watches and much more. Dinosaur bones, models of ancient fortresses and the first warship, money, certificates and more are also presented.

In the second hall, the exhibition concerns flora and fauna: stuffed animals and birds living in the region are presented here.

The third room concerns the times of the Second World War and a description of how local residents lived those years. Military uniforms, documents, weapons and personal belongings of those who fought are presented here. In the center of the hall, on red columns, the names of all Lukhovichi residents and residents of the area who died in the war are written.

There is no permanent exhibition in the fourth hall: temporary exhibitions are held there.

Address: Sovetskaya street, building 8A.

Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 8:00 to 17:00;

Phone: (49663) 218-92, -96;

Ticket price: 10-50 rubles.

Please note: the museum is located near the station, next to the city administration.

Exhibition of military equipment

This exposition was located in the open air in front of the mountain administration building. Exact address: Sovetskaya street, building 7.

Military equipment is presented here: the L-29 jet trainer, the T-55 medium tank, the MiG-21 fighter and other exhibits. Near each exhibit there is a sign indicating the necessary information.

Also on the Walk of Fame there is an Eternal Flame, a monument to Lukhovichi residents who died in the Second World War and local battles; since 2016, there has been a sculpture dedicated to the people who participated in the liquidation of the consequences of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Please note: the exhibition is completely free and open around the clock, the exhibits are not fenced in anything - you can touch them and take pictures next to them.

Cucumber Museum

For Lukhovichi residents, a cucumber is not just a vegetable, but a source of pride: it is no coincidence that there is even a monument to a cucumber erected in the city. For a long time, local residents have been using a special technology for growing and salting, which has “brought” the vegetable far beyond the boundaries of the region.

And how many interesting things you can learn about cucumbers here! The museum provides detailed information about cucumber varieties, methods of cultivation, preparation and protection; there is even a collection of seeds and books telling about this culture.

This is interesting: locals sometimes call this museum a museum in a pimple.

Previously, the museum was located on Pushkin Street in the village of Sushkovo, near the local cemetery, but since the summer of 2015 its exhibition was moved to the Museum of Local Lore.

Policy

The head of the Lukhovitsky municipal district is the head of the district.

Communist Anatoly Alekseevich Mikhailov, who held this position since March 5, 2009, resigned at his own request due to deteriorating health. On May 12, 2014, the Council of Deputies of the Lukhovitsky Municipal District accepted the resignation.

The head of the Lukhovitsky municipal district is elected by the Council of Deputies of the Lukhovitsky District from among its members. The head of the district administration is appointed to work under a contract.

All Russian political parties are represented in the district.

Temples, monasteries, holy places

Throughout the entire history of the Lukhovichi district, many churches have changed here. Until the second half of the 19th century, they were all wooden and quickly collapsed, after which they were replaced by the stone Church of the Entry of the Virgin Mary.

Church of Matrona of Moscow

Of the wooden ones, only the Kazan Church has survived, largely due to the fact that during the USSR it was a warehouse, and the building did not collapse over time. Almost all of the current churches are small and modest, retaining the charm of old times. In addition to them, the area can boast of two holy springs - St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and Paraskeva Pyatnitsa.

Holy spring of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

Nicholas the Wonderworker is one of the most revered saints in Orthodoxy: in Russia, his image comes immediately after Christ and the Virgin Mary. Its source is not in the city itself, but 15 km from it, in the village of Gorodna. It is located in a forest on a hill: there are several springs flowing there (two strong and one weak), which flow into a wooden font.

Please note: you can get to the source by bus No. 28 “Lukhovitsa Station - Berkhino”.

The source is open 24 hours a day. The area was landscaped in 2003: asphalt was laid there, a parking lot, a swimming pool, a swimming pool, and benches were installed. There is a watchman on duty near the source, and you can also purchase containers for water. Many note the well-groomed territory and complete openness: anyone can come for water free of charge and without any time restrictions.

Holy spring of Paraskeva Friday

The image of Saint Paraskeva Friday is a fusion of the pagan female deity Mokosha, several saints with the same name and the day of the week Friday.
Mokosh was forbidden to wash, spin or plow on Friday, as this could anger Friday. And although the clergy condemned such pagan prejudices, people said that Holy Friday and St. Anastasia forbade them to work.

The source of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa is located in the village of Podlesnaya Sloboda on the banks of the Vobli River. You can get there by bus 38 “Lukhovitsy Station - Aksenovo” to the stop “Magazin” or “Verkhnyaya Sloboda”.

Compared to the source of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the source of Paraskeva does not look the best: it is a small bathhouse in an old wooden house, painted green on the outside. Everything inside is half destroyed, there is no guard nearby, you will have to take the container with you. However, the source is not loved for its amenities: what makes it especially attractive is its location on the river bank, in silence, in which it is easy to hear a nightingale.

Please note: near the source there is the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary into the Temple: in it, Konstantin Paustovsky married his first wife Ekaterina Zagorskaya, whose father served there.

Vvedenskaya Church

The full name is “Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary into the Temple.” This is the first stone temple in the region, which replaced numerous wooden ones. During Soviet times it was closed, but miraculously escaped complete destruction, only suffering from time. Even the iconostasis was completely preserved. It was reopened in 1994.

Today it is the largest temple in the Lukhovitsky district, near which there is a memorial sign about all those who died in the Second World War.

It is worth noting: the exact date of construction of the church is unknown - presumably it appeared between 1863 and 1878.

The church is built of dark red brick, has five silver domes and a hipped bell tower. Not far from it there is a cemetery and the source of St. Paraskeva Pyatnitsa. You can get to the place using the method indicated in the previous paragraph.

Church of the Nativity

The temple was built in honor of the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ by decision of the district administration. His address: Zhukovskogo Street, building 41, the nearest stop is “Naberezhnaya Street”.

This is a new church with modern architecture: it is small in size, made of dark red brick and has a green roof with a single golden dome. A low bell tower is attached to the temple; inside there is a baptismal chapel with the Prince Vladimir chapel.

Please note: the church has a Sunday school and a film studio “Ray of Light”, and classes are held to study the Word of God.

Unfortunately, judging by the reviews, few people liked the appearance of the temple: near the historical buildings it looks too new and rough.

Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

The church dedicated to one of the most famous Orthodox saints is located on Parkovaya Street, the nearest stop is “School”. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century near the local cemetery, but the actual need to build a temple began in the 90s of the 19th century. At first it was assigned to the Podlesnaya Sloboda Church; in the 1930s the temple was closed and reopened only in 1994.

Good to know: the church has its own website https://nikolaluh.cerkov.ru - despite its modest appearance, there are all contacts for communicating with the priest and information about the parish.

The church was built in pseudo-Russian style: it is made of red brick with one green dome. There are external images of saints and a small amount of white decoration. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the church was in a terrible state and was restored from ruins, but renovation work is still ongoing. This is due to lack of funding. However, money for its initial construction also took almost fifteen years.

Church of the Life-Giving Trinity

It is located at Troitsky proezd, building 1, the nearest stop is “Kunakovo”. The history of the church began in 1994, when construction began. Due to lack of funding, construction was seriously delayed: the church was built only in 2008.

The building is small and very modest: completely white, crowned by a single silver dome. The area around is clean and well-groomed: in the summer the flowers bloom in the flowerbed, in the winter the paths are cleared of snow. Next to it is the Temple of Sergius of Radonezh. There are two chapels in the Trinity Church: the first is consecrated in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the second in honor of the Lukhovitsky New Martyrs, their feast day is November 21.

Please note: Trinity Church was the first and only one to be dedicated to local martyrs.

Kazan Church in Sushkovo

This church can rightfully be called unique: the wooden building was erected in the 50s of the 18th century near the cemetery and has been perfectly preserved to this day. Like all other religious buildings, it was closed and used as a warehouse, but in the 90s of the twentieth century it was returned to the Orthodox community.

It preserves a three-tiered iconostasis and paintings on the walls and ceiling created in the 19th century. It has a tiered composition and one dome; a bell tower and a refectory are adjacent to the temple. The outside is painted blue.

Please note: the church website is https://kazanskaya.cerkov.ru, address is Pushkin Street, building 337 (nearest stop is Sushkovo).

There is a legend that at first the church was erected on the right bank of the Voblya River, but one day, while walking through a meadow, the wife of a local landowner saw an image of the Virgin Mary, who ordered the church to be moved to a new location.

List of settlements

City monuments

Despite its modest size, Lukhovitsy can boast of several sculptures. There are literary ones, ones dedicated to historical figures, and more “fun” options, for example, a monument to the cucumber, which has become an unspoken symbol of the city.

Eternal Flame at the Walk of Fame

Below are descriptions of the most interesting and beloved compositions by Lukhovichi residents, but this is an incomplete number: in the city there is a monument to the victims of political repression, a sculpture of Lenin, internationalist soldiers, an eternal flame and the Walk of Fame complex.

Monument to postman Pechkin

You can find it on Zhukovsky Street near house No. 2, where the city post office is located. The composition was installed in 2008, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the holiday of communications.

This is interesting: many believe that its installation was also timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the city, but in the year of installation the Lukhovits turned 51 years old.

The two-meter postman is cast from bronze. It represents a whole composition: in the center is the postman Pechkin himself, sitting on a bicycle. There is a mail bag slung over his shoulder, and a little jackdaw on his right shoulder. A happy cat Matroskin is standing near the bicycle, and a dog Sharik is sitting.

Monument to Cucumber

Cucumbers grown in Lukhovitsy have long been famous for their high taste, but they have never been grown in public production. Vegetables were grown on private plots: first on peasant plots, and from the second half of the 60s of the twentieth century - on dachas located in the Oka floodplain. Such vegetable growing allowed owners to receive additional, and sometimes main income.

The monument is located on the M-5 highway (Novoryazanskoye Highway), near the intersection with Pushkin Street. It was installed in 2007 on the day of the 50th anniversary of the city and quickly became the calling card of Lukhovitsy. The monument looks like a “wooden” barrel with a cucumber standing on it. The cucumber is supported by carved leaves, from which coins peek out - rubles and kopecks.

There is a sign on the barrel: “To the cucumber-breadwinner from grateful Lukhovichi residents.”

It is worth noting: a small figurine identical to the installed monument is located in the office of the administration of the town of Rybnoye.

Monument to MiG-23

It can be found at the intersection of the street. Zhukovsky with Bolnichny Proezd, the exact address is Zhukovsky Street, building 18. Erected on the playground in Lukhovitsky Central Park, not far from the Start Palace of Culture.

Its installation is connected with the aircraft construction branch operating in Lukhovitsy, which assembles aircraft. Due to the expansion of aircraft production, Lukhovitsy developed and received the status of a city, but at the same time the place became closed and classified.

Please note: another MiG monument stands in front of the plant itself, but a different model is presented there - the MiG-23UB.

The composition represents a multi-role fighter bursting upward with variable sweep wings. It was these models that were the first Soviet fighters that appeared first in the city, and then in the country.

Monument to Aibolit

This sculpture can hardly be called serious, but, nevertheless, children love it very much. The monument to Doctor Aibolit was erected at 17 Mira Street, in the courtyard of the children's clinic. It appeared in 2008.

This is interesting: in the photographs you can see that the cross on the doctor’s suitcase is very worn - perhaps this is due to the sign of rubbing it for good luck or health.

The composition represents Aibolit sitting on the steps, holding a doctor’s suitcase with a cross on his knees. Behind him “grow” two trees with intertwined crowns. Animals and birds sit in the foliage: owl, squirrels, hippopotamus, monkey, whale and others.

Monument to A.S. Pushkin

Few visiting tourists know that such a monument even stands in the city, although the stone poet appeared here at the end of the 20th century. And although in fact nothing connects Alexander Sergeevich with the city (unlike Peter I, whose navy was born in a nearby village), the monument is still loved by the residents. In 2009, they planned to build a McDonald's in its place, but residents defended the poet: instead of demolition, they named a square in his honor.

It is worth noting: in the 90s of the twentieth century, 2 monuments to Pushkin were erected - a full-length one and a bust, the latter was repeatedly attacked by hooligans.

The sculpture represents Pushkin standing at full height, with a cloak on his left shoulder. The monument is decorated with a plaque with lines from the poem “I erected a monument to myself not made by hands.”

Monument to Peter I

The first Russian emperor is immortalized in a huge number of busts and sculptures, one of which is located in Lukhovitsy. Such an unusual choice is due to the fact that the first Russian warship was launched on the Oka River in the village of Dedinovo, near Lukhovitsy.

Please note: the monument is located at Pushkin Street, building number 2, but sometimes the address is Sovetskaya Street, building 8A - this is the address of the Historical and Art Museum, in front of which the sculpture stands.

The two-meter (including pedestal) monument represents the figure of Peter the Great standing on the bow of the ship and looking into the distance. Next to it, on a separate pedestal, lies an anchor and the words “For my Fatherland and people I have not and do not regret my life... Peter I” are carved.

Tourist route by car

You can get acquainted with the sights of Lukhovitsa both on foot and by car. A tourist route for 1 day may look like this.

The cucumber monument is a symbol of the city and the main attraction of Lukhovitsy

The Moscow region town of Lukhovitsy attracts with its silence and tranquility. Its attractions do not have the metropolitan scale and pomp, but charm with their provincial spontaneity.

Natural objects and bodies of water

The town is located in a picturesque place; mixed forests grow nearby, especially in the mountainous part.

Please note : most of the forest used to be coniferous, but today they have been replaced by mixed forests, linden forests, and oak forests.

Initially, there were a lot of swamps on the territory of the village, but in the second half of the 20th century they began to actively dry out. In their place, hayfields and pastures appeared. The same fate befell many small lakes and rivers, but still there are several important natural sites in the region, including six protected areas. Here you can also find plants and animals listed in the Red Book, for example, river beavers.

River Voblya

The river with such a dissonant name flows from the south of Lukhovitsy and flows into the Oka. Its length is 36 km, the basin area is almost 230 square meters. km. This is a flat river that “feeds” on snow and has one tributary – the Chernaya River. At the end of November - beginning of December, Voblya freezes until the end of March - beginning of April. The upper reaches of the river are densely populated, while below it flows through a series of narrow lakes, which are the main attraction for many tourists and fishermen.

It is worth considering: some sources indicate a length of 29 km.

Linguists believe that the name “Voblya” is adjacent to the base “Obl” (“Round”), which was known even among the Proto-Slavs. Another option is the Proto-Slavic word “Vabiti” (“Beckon”). Some linguists see the Baltic origin of the name: “Woble” (Ancient Prussia) and “Vabalas” (Lithuania) - “Apple”, “Wabule” (Latvia) - “Bug”.

However, popular rumor explains the name differently. One morning in the spring, when the ice had not yet melted, one of the rulers of Rus' (the name could be anything - from Rurik to Peter I) and his retinue crossed the river without much difficulty. When he returned in the evening, the ice had melted, and the river overflowed heavily. Angry, the ruler pronounced the name of the river, but in two words.

Blue Lakes

These are several artificial reservoirs, which are located north of Lukhovitsy and 130 km from Moscow, travel along the Novoryazanskoe highway. Previously, there were sand pits here, but they were gradually flooded, making them available to vacationers. The oldest lake is over 60 years old.

Thanks to its favorable location, Blue Lakes quickly became popular among local residents and Muscovites: pine forest, clean water, sandy beaches, convenient access and access to the water. The first two lakes are located close to the road and are mostly used by families visiting for the day.

It’s worth considering: if you drive further (about 20-30 minutes by car due to the inability to reach high speed), you can find three more lakes where people come with tents. Much fewer people stay there and there are regular bards' gatherings, the most famous of which takes place on the first weekend of summer. This is the annual gathering of the author's song "Lukhovitsky Lakes", until 2010 the festival "Blue Lakes" was held.

Lukhovitsy online

Museum, directory, guide.

A very young city with a rich history. Since ancient times, local residents have respected and cared for their native land and its nature. Beautiful lakes and rivers, wide fields and dense forests. Small villages and large villages that appeared here tended the fields, fished in the rivers, collected wild mushrooms and berries, and raised bees. ...

Now Lukhovitsy is a small town at the border of the Moscow and Ryazan regions. The age is a little over 60 years, but some places in the area have a history of almost 1000 years.

Famous people

Despite its “modest” size, the city has its own famous personalities:

• The main one is test pilot Ivan Grigorievich Vorobiev - this Hero of the Soviet Union died while testing the aircraft. A street was named in his honor and a monument was also erected;
• No less famous is Captain Zubachev Ivan Nikolaevich, who led the defense of the Citadel of the Brest Fortress. He was captured in 1944 and died in the infirmary less than a month later;

Monument to test pilot I.G. Vorobyov

It is important to know: those who died in the Second World War and local military conflicts were not forgotten - the Alley of Heroes was opened near the Chernaya River.

• In 1965-1995, test pilot Yuri Garrievich Abramovich worked here. He tested MiG-21, Mig-23, Mig-29 and Il-103 fighters;
• In 1937, Bishop Theodosius died in the Lukhovitsk region (the village of Sushkovo), who was canonized in 2006.

How to get to Lukhovits

From Moscow you can do this in different ways:

1. By train from the Kazansky station in Moscow, their path lies through the Lukhovitsy station.

Take note: the Moscow-Ryazan express train also passes the indicated station, the travel time takes about two hours.

1. By bus: you can get there by bus No. 318, you can also use routes No. 330 to Zaraysk and No. 960 to Ryazan. All of them depart from the Kotelniki metro station.
2. On your own: the M-5 highway or Novoryazanskoe highway stretches from Moscow to the city; you will have to travel 130-135 km along it.

You can also get to the nearest cities, and from there to Lukhovitsy: the distance from Kolomna is 22 km, from Ryazan – 54 km. Both cities are located on the same highway, so it will be easy to travel.

Lukhovitsy is a small town in the Moscow region with a population of about 30 thousand people. But despite its size, it attracts many tourists, as well as lovers of “wild” holidays from nearby places and even from Moscow.

We bring to your attention an interesting video about the city of Lukhovitsy:
