Ardatov is a work settlement located on the Lemet River in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, positioned about 160 kilometers southwest of the regional capital. The town functions as an administrative hub for the surrounding district, with modest residential and public buildings spread across the site.

The settlement was founded in 1552 and grew into an administrative center for the Ardatovskiy District. Its growth reflected wider regional development patterns tied to river routes and later industrial activity.

The Kazanskaya Church forms a focal point in the settlement's center, showing the Orthodox faith that shaped local life. Residents and visitors gather here for religious observances that remain part of the community's rhythm.

The settlement offers basic administrative services and local amenities necessary for daily life in the district. Spring through early fall provides the most accessible visiting conditions with better weather and open spaces.

The settlement was originally established as a trading outpost and maintained its importance for regional connections for centuries. Today it illustrates how smaller administrative centers in this region have evolved and adapted over time.
