Plotinka, Heritage dam in Yekaterinburg, Russia
The Plotinka Dam spans the Iset River with granite walls, creating a reservoir that extends through the center of Yekaterinburg.
Built in 1723 under the supervision of Wilhelm de Hennin, the dam provided water power to the Yekaterinburg Iron Works, marking the foundation of the city.
The Historical Square surrounding the dam contains museums, monuments, and exhibitions showcasing the industrial heritage and architectural evolution of the Ural region.
The dam structure incorporates a pedestrian tunnel constructed in 1998, connecting both sides of the historical district beneath Lenin Avenue.
The original larch wood foundation of the dam remains intact after 300 years, demonstrating the exceptional engineering methods of early Russian industrial construction.
