Речкуновка, Sanatorium and cultural heritage site in Berdsk, Russia.
Rechkunovka was a sanatorium complex set on a forested site near Berdsk Bay with buildings for medical treatments and guest lodging. The facility had treatment rooms, dining areas, and recreational spaces where people came for recovery and recuperation.
The complex was built in 1959 and expanded significantly over the following decades. After closure in 2004, it remained as an abandoned site.
This was where workers received stays as recognition for their professional achievements in factories and farms. People came here to recover and receive medical care, making the complex an important gathering place for working families.
The grounds are currently not open to visitors and remain in a deteriorated condition. Those interested should check ahead about possible restrictions, as safety cannot be guaranteed.
The grounds today are an abandoned ruin registered in Russia's cultural heritage database. Despite its poor condition, the site remains a window into Soviet-era ideals of worker welfare and social benefits.
