Central house of culture of railway workers

The Central House of Culture of Railway Workers is a palace of culture in Moscow's Krasnoselsky District with Baroque style features, showing symmetrical proportions and ornate decorative elements across its facade. The building contains performance halls, rehearsal spaces, and exhibition areas used for various cultural and community activities.

Architect Alexey Shchusev designed this cultural institution in 1927 when the Soviet Union supported the development of public spaces for workers. The project was part of a broader movement to build infrastructure for the working population and promote their cultural participation.

The building serves as a gathering place for railway workers and their families, where art performances, concerts, and exhibitions happen regularly. The spaces are designed to bring people together and support local artistic talent.

The building is located near Moscow's major railway stations and is easy to reach by train. The entrances are clearly marked and information signs help visitors find the different rooms and event spaces.

The building stands on Komsomolskaya Square, a historic railway hub, and is part of a protected architectural ensemble recognized as a federal cultural heritage site. This location connects the structure directly to the story of Soviet railway development.
