Severodvinsk is the second largest city in the Arkhangelsk region.
Today it is a powerful military-industrial city. Sometime in 1938, Severodvinsk was founded in connection with the launch of a shipbuilding plant, which today bears the name “Sevmash”.

Severodvinsk is a strategic city
Severodvinsk in 1938, before receiving city status, was called Sudostroy. After the change of status, the city was renamed Molotovsk in honor of Commissioner V.M. Molotov. And in 1957, the name Severodvinsk was approved because of its location on the Dvina Bay. The area is popular for its understated natural beauty, submarine memorials, and shipbuilding industry.
Yagry Island, where Severodvinsk is located, has always been a strategically important place in Russia due to its convenient port location. During the Second World War, important cargo deliveries from allied countries were carried out in Molotovsk. The city has also become significant because of nuclear shipbuilding: factories that participate in state-level orders and many manufacturing enterprises in the fishing, food and furniture industries have made the city industrial. It was here that strategic submarines were produced. The city in the far north was even closed until the early 90s. The Belomorsk naval base, which is part of the Northern Fleet, is located in Severodvinsk. Here are the shipbuilding and ship repair complexes of OJSC Sevmash, as well as.
Church of the Ascension of Christ
In the 90s of the last century, the lack of churches for Christian worship was an acute problem in Severodvinsk. The construction of the church required a lot of money, which was not available, the decision came suddenly. Take the already existing Church of the Ascension of Christ and solve this problem.
The church was dismantled and transported from a village neighboring Severodvinsk. While the builders were moving the church, an icon of the Mother of God called “The Sign” was accidentally found. And this served as a good sign that everything was being done correctly and with God’s blessing. And this gave the Temple of the Ascension of Christ new life. Location: Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya street - 2.

Services are still held in the Temple complex at the Monastery, but the historical building itself was closed in 1920. In 1731, there was a school at the monastery where Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov studied. From 1938 to 1961, the Yarinlag labor camp operated at the site of the Monastery; undesirables were sent here.
Which is not so unusual for a closed city that has been working hard on the military-industrial complex for more than 80 years. Conceived as a center for domestic shipbuilding, this secret city at the mouth of the Dvina initially developed not on its own, but in a strictly defined direction.
2. This Soviet city grew up around a factory on the shores of the White Sea, in lands with a rich history that preserves the memory of the ancient Pomors and their culture.
3. Now Severodvinsk is a town of shipbuilding glory, reflecting in its appearance the milestones of the “maritime” and industrial history of the country. The ancient heritage of these places and the wonderful picturesque nature of the Russian North add to their tourist attractiveness.
4. Many people think that there is nothing to see in “industrial cities”. The sights of Severodvinsk prove that this is not at all the case. There is a lot to see in Severodvinsk.
5. The first thing that greets a traveler who has finally reached the northern port is a memorial stele at the entrance to Severodvinsk. It is customary to linger near the simple memorial in order to take a good photo against its background.
6. In the city there is a museum of the production association “Sevmashpredpriyatie”.

MUSEUM OF LOCAL LORD
8. In Severodvinsk you can visit the local history museum.

The museum's halls are dedicated not only to history and culture, but also to the nature of the harsh northern lands along the shores of the White Sea.
EXHIBITION OF THE MUSEUM OF LOCAL LORD
9. Both the exhibition of the local history museum and the building itself are noteworthy. It is an architectural monument and played an important role at the beginning of the city's history. There was a maternity hospital here, where people who could confidently call themselves the first indigenous people of Severodvinsk saw this world.
10. Draw your attention to the Nikolo-Korelsky Monastery, considered the oldest building in Severodvinsk. This is one of the few ancient sites that reveals the history and culture of the area many centuries before the city was founded. According to legend, the monastery arose at the site of the death of two young people - Anthony and Felix, the sons of Martha the Posadnitsa from Novgorod. The grieving mother ordered a temple to be built here, consecrated in honor of St. Nicholas.
11. The temple complex is still in operation today, and services are still held there. But the history of the monastery itself ended even before the city of Severodvinsk appeared on the map of the country. It was closed in 1920; by that time the monastery had a rich history and glory as a “cultural and educational” center of the northern region.
12. There was once a school here that taught children from surrounding villages. In 1731, the most famous native of the Arkhangelsk land, Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov, walked through the monastery. The history of the monastery includes the fact that it was the monastery convoy that helped the future luminary of Russian science get to Moscow.
13. Even in tsarist times, the monastery was used for the “exile” of unwanted people; this “unpleasant” function was performed by it even after its closure. The Soviet authorities set up labor camps here. From 1938 to 1961, the infamous Yarinlag was located here. Nowadays, part of the monastery premises is occupied by shipbuilding production.
14.After the founding of Molotovsk, shipbuilding workshops spread out around the monastery building, so today it is possible to enter the monastery chapels only with the official permission of the plant management.
15. The Arkhangelsk lands and the territories of modern Severodvinsk are associated with the names of several famous people, but the figure of Mikhail Lomonosov in this list undoubtedly stands apart. Even though he did not live here, like many cultural figures, but only passed by, his figure is significant for the entire region.
MONUMENT TO M. V. LOMONOSOV
16.The famous scientist and writer was immortalized in Severodvinsk in 1958. The local monument is one of the most famous sculptural incarnations of Mikhail Vasilyevich.
17. The monument by sculptor M. Aleshchenko and architect M. Nasekin is located at the intersection of Lenin Avenue with the street named after the scientist.

18. As in other cities of Russia, there are many churches in Severodvinsk and its environs, although, of course, it cannot compare in number with Ryazan, Smolensk or Tula.
19. It’s hard to imagine the Russian north without monuments of wooden architecture. Not far from Severodvinsk, in the small village of Nenoksa, there is a complex of two churches. Their history goes back several centuries.
TEMPLE COMPLEX IN NENOXA
20. Unlike the city of Severodvinsk, Nenoksa is an ancient village, the prototypes of local temples are rooted deep in history. It is known that from time immemorial there were three churches on the territory of the village, which burned down in the 18th century. The fire dates back to 1725. After him, the construction of temples began, which we can see now - in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and the Life-Giving Trinity. The first temple is winter, the second is summer.
21.Bishop Varnava blessed the local residents for the construction of the shrine; a carpentry team led by Vasily Korsakov arrived in the village. First, the summer Trinity Church appeared; St. Nicholas Church, according to the official version, was completed only in 1763, but the exact date of its illumination is not known.
22.Until the beginning of the 19th century, the church was heated in black. The architectural appearance of the temple ensemble was completed by the bell tower, built in the 1830s.
CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST
23.The Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Severodvinsk is a neat wooden church, painted soft blue, its domes are covered with gilding. In design, it resembles a familiar example of northern wooden architecture, but its original appearance was probably somewhat different. The prehistory of this temple is shrouded in darkness. The fact is that the church does not stand in its historical place.
24.The church was moved to Yagry Island in the city of Severodvinsk in the early 1990s from the village of Solza. This decision was driven by the desire to save money. It was necessary to organize a parish for believers, and the construction of a new temple required a lot of money. During the transfer of the church, the Icon of the Resurrection was discovered, which became the main shrine of the temple and gave it its modern name.
CHURCH OF THE VLADIMIR ICON OF THE MOTHER OF GOD
25. In the southern part of Severodvinsk, not far from the banks of the Kudma River, there is a new temple - the Church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God. The date of laying the first stone in its foundation is considered to be 2005; in 2006, the domes of this shrine were already consecrated.
26. The Vladimir Church is small, but very cozy - there is always a friendly atmosphere, the ministers are responsive, and the parishioners are decent. The inside of the temple is beautiful - indeed, it creates the atmosphere of the house of God. There is a Sunday school for adults and children; on holidays, the parish can host exciting fairs and even concerts.
ST. NICHOL'S TEMPLE
27. Also considered a landmark building of Severodvinsk is the St. Nicholas Church with the chapel of the blessed prince Alexander Nevsky. The appearance, somewhat atypical for a religious building, is explained by the fact that at first the building housed a kindergarten, and only after it had become thoroughly dilapidated was the building transferred to the diocese, which, with the money of parishioners, equipped the temple in it.
28.The modern religious building became a decoration of the city in 2015. The chapel, located on Boychuk Street, near the city square, attracts with its elegant architecture; stained glass windows add grace to its appearance. One of them reproduces the image of the ancient Russian holy prince Alexander Nevsky, whose name the chapel bears. From a distance, a huge gilded dome crowning a small round building attracts attention.
29. The Nordic character of Severodvinsk is reflected even in small sculptural forms. Cartoon characters and heroes of folklore are not cast in metal here: all the monuments in the city are extremely serious, and sometimes even mournful, monuments. The monuments of the city of Severodvinsk display history and a glorious past, and they also show tourists famous personalities for the northern town.
MONUMENT TO RICHARD CHANCELLOR
30. Richard Chancellor - English navigator of the 16th century; in 1553 he visited the Russian shores of the White Sea, visited the village of Nenoksa and the Nikolo-Korelsky monastery.

32. Pine forest on Yagry Island is not only a beautiful corner of nature, but also a memorable historical place where soldiers of the Karelian Front are buried. A total of 103 burials are known. A military memorial complex “Grieving Motherland” was erected at the burial site. Its name evokes associations with the legendary monuments of Kyiv and Volgograd.
33.But the local Motherland is called the “Mourning One” and looks more modest. The composition consists of two stylized bayonets and a female figure standing humbly with her head bowed. She symbolizes a mother who lost her sons. The height of the monument is 12 meters. It was installed in 1975.
34. The tragic pages of the Gulag directly affected Severodvinsk. In memory of the political prisoners, the innocent victims of Yagrinlag, who were held in a correctional facility on the territory of the monastery, a stele was erected in the city. It is located on the site of a former cemetery, in one of the remote urban areas. The author of the attraction, G.A. Sodomovsky, created the monument as laconic as possible - in the form of a white rough stele.
MONUMENT TO THE LOST NUCLEAR SUBMARINE "KURSK" AND ITS CREW
35. The tragically famous nuclear submarine “Kursk”, which crashed in 2000, “originally” came from Severodvinsk. It was produced at a local shipyard. The city immortalized the memory of the crew of the submarine Kursk, 118 sailors who died in the disaster. In the Jagr forest belt there is a stele depicting a submarine, which resembles a marble tombstone.

Members of the club organized several search expeditions, and the findings became museum exhibits. The exhibition, which occupies five halls, has been operating since 1995 and is considered the first of its kind in the Arkhangelsk region.
40. The Severodvinsk theater began its existence almost simultaneously with the city. In 1937, the artists first appeared on stage, presenting to the public a production based on the play “The Liar” by Carlo Goldoni. Since then, the works of W. Shakespeare and L. Tolstoy, F. Dostoevsky and V. Nabokov, M. Gorky and A. Chekhov, Lope de Vega and other classics have been embodied on the theater stage of Severodvinsk.

Before that, it regularly served for the benefit of the people, carried out cargo transportation, and during the Second World War it was used to transport the wounded.
46.Steamboat “N.V. Gogol,” which takes tourists along the Dvina, floats only in the spring-summer season, so those who are eager to join the excursion should try to arrive in Severodvinsk before navigation closes.
KUDEM NARROW GAUGE MINE
47.A railway for tourists is a useful infrastructure facility that allows them to reach their destination. However, it happens that the railway track itself is already a historical and cultural attraction. This is exactly the case of Severodvinsk.
48.The Kudemskaya narrow-gauge railway passing here is officially included in the list of the ten most beautiful railway routes in the world. The history of the railway began in 1949, when its first section was opened. It carried passenger and cargo transportation, and was primarily used to transport timber.
49.The narrow-gauge railway still performs these functions today. After all, it still remains in operation today, although the scale of local logging production is currently modest compared to previous stages. Until now, the railway remains unelectrified. But five days a week, passenger trains travel along its rails from Severodvinsk (Vodogon station) to the village of Beloye Lake.
PARK OF CULTURE AND RECREATION IN SEVERODVINSK
50. Severodvinsk Culture and Recreation Park is a place for city events, entertainment and walks. It “grew up” on the site of a city park, laid out in 1951 at the intersection of Profsoyuzov Avenue and Sovetskaya Street. The square was intended for the recreation of townspeople; a dance floor was organized here, and standard sculptures were installed.
51.The object became increasingly popular, and in 1972 it officially became a cultural park. The appearance was complemented by a beautiful fountain. Then attractions began to operate here, and over the years their variety increased. The most popular is still the Ferris Wheel. It has been taking vacationers on rides since 1990.
52. Also in the city there is a monument to the First Builders of Severodvinsk. It is dedicated to the beginning of the history of modern Severodvinsk. This monument is located on Yagrinskoye Highway, in the very place where the builders were landed in 1936. They were sent here to build a shipyard for government needs.
MONUMENT TO THE PIONEER BUILDERS OF SEVERODVINSK
53.The pioneers were immortalized in the form of three bas-reliefs in red in 1978. The opening of the monument took place on the 40th birthday of the city of Severodvinsk. The author of the project was an aspiring sculptor from Leningrad, one of the students of the Mukhina School.
54. There is also an excursion underwater vehicle “Neptune” in the city. In 1991, for the first time in the history of our country, a submarine intended for tourist excursions was manufactured. It was produced according to the design of the Rubin design bureau.
SUMBARINA "NEPTUNE".
55.The submarine was named after the ancient Roman underwater god “Neptune”. The 28-meter-long vessel is capable of diving to depths of 30 to 60 meters.
56. In 1992, the facility was put into operation and went to work - taking tourists far from their homeland - to the waters of the Caribbean Sea. Four years later, the device was returned home for repairs, but the submarine never returned to its direct duties. Muscovites wanted to take it and make a cafe, but these plans did not come true. Now the ship is still idle, being an object for tourist inspection. You can see it on the territory of the Sevmash plant.
57.Severodvinsk has several natural attractions and parks that tourists should definitely see, for example, Dvina Bay, Yagry Island, and Lake Chayachye.
58. Severodvinsk is located on the shores of one of the four largest bays of the White Sea, it is called Dvinskaya Bay. It got its name from the largest local river flowing into the White Sea. In addition to the Northern Dvina, many other small rivers merge with the sea here.
59.The depth in the bay reaches 120 meters, but shallow areas are also known, for example, the so-called “Dry Sea”. We are talking about a picturesque, vast, dry sandbank. It is interesting that Dvinskaya Guba, along with Onega, is one of the warmest areas of the White Sea.
WAR MEMORIAL ON YAGRI ISLAND
60. The center of natural attractions and monuments in Severodvinsk is Yagry Island, located at the mouth of the Northern Dvina River. This is a favorite place for recreation and fishing. Tourists and townspeople are attracted by the Yagrinsky pine forest, which stretches along the sandy shore.
61. Century-old trees create a peaceful atmosphere. This is a great place for those who like to walk in picturesque places and be alone with nature. Not far from Yagry Island there is a whole group of small uninhabited islands; wildlife lovers will be able to feel like “northern Robinsons”.
LAKE CHAYACHYE
62. Now you no longer need to swim to Yagyr Island: it has long been connected by a system of bridges and dams to the mainland of Severodvinsk. There are several fresh water bodies on Yagry Island, the largest of which is an oblong lake. In honor of the popular local monasteries, it was named Chayachye. This lake is located next to the residential areas of Yagra.
63. On Lake Chayachye there are not only seagulls, but also ducks. Usually, city residents come here with their families in the spring-summer season to feed the seagulls and ducks nesting in the coastal reed thickets. Here you can also see an interesting sea animal – the otter.
64. And fans of remote taiga towns and Nordic landscapes are invited to take a ride to the Onega Pomorie National Park. This place is famous for its unique fauna and rich flora, so those who want to see real harp seals, beluga whales and bird colonies need to get here.
ON YAGRINSKY BEACH
65. Paradoxical as it may seem, there is also a beach holiday in the Far North, and confirmation of this is the Yagrinsky beach.
66. In the summer, everyone who cannot live without a tan and cool baths flocks to the sandy strip, stretching for almost 4 kilometers. The sea in these places is shallow, so in the warm season the water is relatively warm. Although, only winter swimmers dare to take serious swims here. Mostly, Severodvinsk residents come to the beach to wander a little in the shallow water or just take a plunge.
67. Connoisseurs of wooden architecture usually delve into the old districts of Severodvinsk: although the local authorities have vowed to get rid of the rickety mansions from the times of the “Father of Nations” as soon as possible, in the historical part of Severodvinsk there are still plenty of dilapidated, but charming wooden buildings in their own way.
68. For everyone who is interested in the history of the Pomeranian region, the guides of the local history museum will definitely tell you how the ship of the British expedition “Edward Bonaventure” once moored off the coast of Jagra, whose team gave the island the name “Pink” because of the abundance of flowering rose hips and rosemary.
69.Perhaps the local architectural monuments cannot be called outstanding, but in terms of natural beauties this city, the “master of shipbuilding”, is all at the highest level.
70. The harsh northern nature has always attracted true aesthetes; it fascinates, enchants, exalts. So it would not be amiss to give useful advice to tourists who come to these parts - to place maximum emphasis on forays around the surrounding area and admire the delightful landscapes of the Russian north.

Aleshchenko and the architect M. Nasekina; the monument was placed on a cylindrical concrete platform with a sign indicating the date of the encyclopedist’s life.
Temple in honor of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God
In sunny weather, the golden domes of the temple in honor of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God can be seen from afar, although the temple itself is located on the outskirts.
