Tyumen is one of the famous cities east of the Urals. It was founded in 1586 as the first Russian settlement in Siberia, and it was established in connection with Russia’s expansion to the east. As a hub for transport over land and on the Tura River, Tyumen quickly developed into a trading town and later an important industrial city.
You will see modern Tyumen along the banks of the Tura, and by the river you can walk along the town’s lovely promenades that stretch through the entire city center. This walk is among the most popular for the citizens of the city and there are lots of activities and sights on the way.
In Tyumen you can see many churches and monasteries in beautiful Russian architecture. Some of them are close to Tura, and thus they help to form some beautiful panoramas when you look at the city skyline. Some of the churches go back to the time when Tyumen was a much smaller city than today.
Modern Tyumen spreads from Central Square and the streets of Lenina and Respubliki. Here there are shopping malls, theaters, concert halls, urban spaces and much more. A special place to visit is the beautifully landscaped Flower Boulevard with lots of activities.
This square is the center of Tyumen, and its history dates back to the urban planning of the 1860s, when the place was laid out as a market square. The current square was created from 1944, when the Tyumen region was established with Tyumen as the city of government.
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s in particular, distinguished buildings were developed around the square. To the northeast is the government building of Tyumen Oblast, Правительство Тюменской области, and to the southwest is the parliament building of the oblast, Тюменская областная дума. Between them stands a statue of Lenin, erected in 1986.
This is one of Tyumen’s most beautiful buildings, and it is nicely located down to the Tura River. The monastery was established in 1616, and since then many beautiful buildings have been built, and you can see that today.
The Holy Trinity Church, Собор Троицкий, is probably the most famous church in the monastery. It dates from the beginning of the 18th century and is architecturally beautiful with inspiration from not least Ukrainian Baroque. The Apostles Peter and Paul Church/Церковь апостолов Петра и Павла from 1726-1755 is also here, and like the Trinity Church it was also built in Ukrainian baroque.
The Tura River meanders through Tyumen and forms an important part of the city’s recreational areas. The modern and cozy promenades along the river are very popular with locals and visitors, and both day and night there are lovely views from here. You can walk about three kilometers/two miles along the river, and you will see fountains, small stalls, cafes and views of the city’s old churches en route. One of the highlights is the Lovers Bridge/Мост влюблённых, which is a footbridge across the Tura.
The Lovers Bridge crosses the river Tura in central Tyumen on the city’s popular river promenades. The 247-meter(810-feet-long pedestrian bridge opened in 1987. It has become a meeting place for couples in love, and love locks are regularly hung on the bridge, after which the keys are thrown in the river. With its beautiful evening lighting, the bridge is today one of Tyumen’s most visited sights.
Tyumen Drama Theater is the city’s large and classical theater stage. The theater has existed since 1858 as a troupe, and from 1890 it has been a permanent theater in the city. Through the Soviet Union era, the theater was named after the head of state Lenin, and the theater has developed continuously since then. In 2008, the beautiful theater building opened as one of Russia’s largest drama theaters in a distinguished classicist style.
The Tyumen Philharmonic is one of the city’s leading cultural institutions. It was founded in 1958, and the Philharmonic has performed in the current building in 1967. Since then, a lot of fine concerts have been held in Tyumen and on tours. In 2003, the Philharmonic was renovated, and on that occasion a hall for chamber and organ music was opened.
This museum was founded in 1957, and since then it has established a collection that is considered one of the finest east of the Urals. Here you can e.g. see paintings, sculptures and porcelain. The permanent exhibition includes various Russian art from the 20th century, and there is also a general collection with art from the 17th century to modern art.
If you want to learn more about Tyumen’s exciting history, a visit to the local history museum is a good choice. There are different themes in the interesting exhibition. The museum building is also worth seeing, as it was the city’s old town hall, which was built in the years 1828-1834.
This church was built as a wooden church already in the early 17th century, but after several fires, the city of Tobolsk and the Archbishop of Siberia gave permission in 1781 to build a stone church. Ten years later, the low and warm winter church was consecrated, while the upper and cold summer church could be opened in 1824.
The prehistory of this church was an orphanage built here on the site in 1871. The construction was funded by one of Tyumen’s honorary citizens, and there was also a school in the home. After a few years, they wanted to build a house church for the orphanage, and it was consecrated in 1885. The church became independent three years later. During the Soviet era, the church was a school building, while today it is once again an active church with associated functions such as a deanery for the episcopate of Tobolsk-Tyumen.
The All Saints Church in Tyumen is architecturally very different from the others in the city. The current stone church with the round design was built in 1833-1838 as a replacement for a wooden church from 1779. The church was known during the Soviet Union, as it was Tyumen’s only active church through this part of the 20th century.
This monastery complex developed in Tyumen over several centuries. The first parish church was mentioned as early as the 16th century, while the current Elias Church was consecrated in 1895. The women’s monastery arose in 1620, and there is still an abbess here as well as offers for e.g. children and older women. Elias Church is also a beautiful building.
Aleksander Real School was a school that existed in the years 1879-1919. It was named after the heir to the throne, Grand Duke Alexander, who visited Tyumen 40 years before the construction of the school started. The architecture is eclectic and inspired by St. Petersburg’s grand mansions. Today, the beautiful building houses Tyumen’s Agricultural University, while during World War II it was home to Lenin’s body, which had been evacuated from Moscow.
A church was built on this site for the first time in the mid-19th century. However, the first and also the second church burned down, so today’s large and very beautiful church is the third of its kind. It was consecrated in 1801, and in 1913 it was given the status of a cathedral. During the Soviet Union, the church was used for non-religious purposes, but today it is again a cathedral, and the building is beautifully restored to former splendor.
The Church of the Holy Cross was founded in 1774 and consecrated in 1791. It is one of Tyumen’s old and beautiful churches and also one of those used for non-Christian purposes during the Soviet Union. During that period, there were workshops and a student club in the building. The rededication of the restored church took place in 1998.
The Church of the Savior of Tyumen is one of the great and well-known churches of Siberia. It was built in the years 1796-1819 in Siberian Baroque and later expanded in Neo-Russian architecture. It served as a church until the Soviet Union confiscated the property of the church. The authorities tried to destroy the church, but fortunately it was preserved and functioned throughout the 20th century as a prison, archive and library.
In 2004, the Tyumen region celebrated its 60th anniversary, and on that occasion, the city created a new cultural park with promenades, restaurants, Tyumen State Circus, various amusements and the city’s largest fountain. It has become one of the city’s most popular places for pleasant strolls.
‘Russia – my history’ is an exciting multimedia historical park located in many major cities in Russia and also in Tyumen. Here, the entire history of Russia from antiquity to the present is showed in an exciting way with fine themed exhibitions and good use of technology.
Tobolsk is a large Russian city located at the mouth of the Tobol River in the Irtysh. The city was founded by Cossacks in 1587, making it the second oldest Russian city in Siberia. Tobolsk then became one of the centers of Russia’s colonization of Siberia, and several cities were founded in the region from Tobolsk, such as Surgut and Tara, which were supposed to act as defenses for Tobolsk. The city grew rapidly with its good location on both the Tobol and the Irtysh, and river navigation was profitable, as was Tobolsk’s trade with China to the east and Bukhara to the south.
Kurgan is the largest city and the administrative center of Kurgan Oblast. The city’s history began around the year 1660, when an imperial citadel was built on this site. In the following years, a settlement arose at the citadel, which was a border fort that protected the area from attacks by nomadic tribes.
Kurgan was given the status of a city by Empress Catherine II in 1782, and on the same occasion the city was given its current name. Throughout the Kurgan’s first century, the city had been burned and rebuilt several times, and by 1695 it had been moved from its original location.
