My Perm Territory: Suksun. Sights and interesting places of Suksun (with photo) Suksun population

Suksun- one of the oldest settlements in the Urals, included in the list of historical cities in Russia. It is located in the southeast of the Perm Territory, on the left bank of the Sylva River. This settlement arose in 1651. The name has Turkic roots and translates as “cold water”. The reason for the formation of the settlement is the discovery of copper deposits in this area.

In earlier times, Suksun was located on the very border of the Russian State and was well protected by wooden fortresses. In 1727, Akinfiy Demidov built a copper smelter on these lands. Thanks to this, the active development of the settlement began, it became known as an industrial center. And it was here that the first Russian steamer with an iron hull was manufactured, which was named "Nikita Demidov", in honor of the father of the founder of the plant.

In the middle of the 18th century, the production of samovars began here. Local craftsmen achieved such success that when after a while copper reserves began to dry up, production did not stop. It is Suksun that is considered the birthplace of the Ural samovar art. Local samovars were of such high quality and so surprised with their varied forms that they competed with the world famous Tula samovars. Suksun craftsmen even made samovars in the form of antique amphorae, and already in the 20th century, products appeared in the form of satellites and other space themes. You can familiarize yourself with a magnificent collection of samovars in the local museum of local lore. There you will also be told about the history of the entire settlement.

Previously, Suksun was famous for the production of bells and 48 bells for the Bolshoi Theater were cast at the Suksun plant. At the end of the 19th century, the counts Kamensky received the plant at their disposal. And in 1933 the settlement received the status of an urban-type settlement.

In the middle of the 20th century, the Suksun plant switched to the production of lenses and glasses, after which it became known as an optical-mechanical plant. Nowadays, exciting industrial excursions are organized there for residents and guests of the city.

In our time, only the old building of the Demidov plant reminds of the mining and metallurgical past of Suksun.

Picturesque natural landmark of the village. The pond was formed in 1729, while a copper smelter was being built, and its coastline is more than 12 km.

This reservoir has brought many benefits to the inhabitants of Suksun, especially with its deposits of curative mud. It is mined in the southern bay of the pond, after which it is brought to many health resorts for the treatment of visitors, in particular, in the nearby health complex "Klyuchi".

This waterfall is a truly unique natural phenomenon that gathers many admiring tourists around it. There are very few such waterfalls in the Perm Territory, and many local legends are associated with the name "Plakun".

The waterfall itself is rather small by standard standards - only 7 meters high, and many mountain springs give rise to it, so the water in the stream is always clean and transparent. Being in the Suksun region, it is a sin not to visit such a picturesque and beautiful place.

Now this place is quite popular among climbers and rock climbers, here they hold competitions every year. The tops of the rock mass consist of limestone and vary in height. The rocks are named Ermak, Ermachikha and Ermachenok. According to legend, the legendary conqueror of Siberia, Ermak Timofeevich, climbed the river, reached the rocks and hibernated, and hid his wealth in a cave inside the peak.

The first two, Ermak and Ermachikha, are covered with a pine forest and are 40 and 30 m high, respectively. The third peak, Ermachenok, is much lower (only 15 m) and has almost no vegetation.

There is also an observation deck with beautiful views of the mountains and the Sylva river flowing between them. In summer, many water tourists can be seen along this river, the route of which usually ends in Kungur. Rare plants grow on the rock itself and nearby, even those listed in the Red Book.

The urban-type settlement Suksun (the first chronicle mention of 1651; translated from the Turkic dialects Suk-su means cold or cold water.) Is located on the Siberian highway, 150 km from Perm and 250 km from Yekaterinburg, the railway is 47 km from the village - Art. Kungur, 87 km - st. Krasnoufimsk.

The history of Suksun is interesting, first of all, because this settlement developed as a mining and refinery.

In 1729, the copper-smelting plant of Akinfiy Demidov was launched, at which later the manufacture of copper dishes and samovars began. Historical documents testify that copper dishes in the Suksun plant began to be produced already in the 1740s. In the list of the staffing table of the Suksun plant for 1747, it is indicated that a certain master Fedot Kiselev is "in the business of copper dishes." In 1748 Mikhail Lomonosov purchased a copper “quarter” from Fedot Kiselev for laboratory experiments for 3 rubles 60 kopecks. Now it is an exhibit of the State Historical Museum, known as the "alembic".

Until 1774, the plant worked on ores mined in various places nearby. Part of the resulting copper was processed into dishes. But then the mines were depleted, and the plant became iron-making (it processed pig iron into iron). The Sylva River served as a transport artery at that time.

In 1845, for the first time in the Urals, at the Suksunsky plant, a steamer with an iron hull “Nikita Demidov” was manufactured. For many years, he has rafted the resulting products along the Kama and Chusovaya rivers.

At the end of the 19th century, the output of iron at the plant decreased so much that the number of workers at the plant decreased fivefold. The growth of handicraft production is evidenced by the fact that by the end of the 19th century there were 80 handicraft workshops in Suksun. In larger workshops, three to four dozen workers worked. The names of the owners of such "factories" are known: Utemov, Sharlaimov, Pomytkin and Panfilov. One worker in such a factory made up to 150 heat samovars a year.

Samovars were sent along the Siberian tract to fairs in Irbit, Yekaterinburg, Perm and Nizhny Novgorod. In 1900, the manufacturer Pomytkin sent his brass samovar to the World's Fair in Paris.

In addition to samovars in Suksun, handicraftsmen made dishes for household needs: milkmen, pots, sinks, ladles, basins, lamps and much more.

Suksun was also one of the centers of bell casting. The famous masters of bell business Trofimovs (Kolokolnikovs) and Erofeevs lived and worked here. Two Suksun Orthodox churches and a number of surrounding ones were decorated with locally made bells.

In addition to the factory production in Suksun, the soap-making, pimokatny, blacksmithing trades developed, one of the rare trades in the province was lace (woven lace).

Suksun is considered the birthplace of samovars. A monument to the samovar was erected in the center of the village several years ago. Suksun was also famous for the production of melodic bells.

Other products were also manufactured. It is interesting that the outstanding Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov.

In 1841, an iron steamer "Nikita Demidov" was built at the Suksunsky plant, which safely transported goods from the Suksunsky plant to Perm and rose back.

Suksun land attracts by nature, mineral springs, in their diversity and healing power, not inferior to the famous Caucasian waters. In the 19th century, the Suksun doctor A.P. Shcherbakov found healing mud in the Suksun pond, and also began to treat patients with sulfur waters. Soon, 15 km from Suksun, in the village of Klyuchi, the first health resort in the Urals and Siberia was founded, widely known to the Perm inhabitants today.

Below Suksun (near the villages of Sasykovo and Pepelyshi) - one of the main attractions of the Sylva River - Plakun waterfall. The noise of water falling from a 7-meter height is heard from afar. It is worth not only admiring the waterfall, but also, having risen, inspect the place where underground waters exit from the cracks of sandstone. If you wish, you can stand under the stream of the waterfall. But I warn you: the water is icy! The icy cold of the Plakun waterfall is breathtaking. A pedestrian suspension bridge crosses the river near the waterfall.

Where does this name come from? Perhaps, two jets, falling from a height of 7 meters, breaking into small splashes, resemble tears. But there are other versions as well. The waterfall is recognized as a hydrological natural monument and is a great place for recreation and excursions.
