Селезнёвские бани, Traditional bathhouse on Seleznyovskaya Street, Moscow, Russia
Seleznyovskiye Bani is a bathhouse complex made of two brick buildings on Seleznyovskaya Street with separate sections for men and women. The facilities include steam rooms, deep pools, and massage services in each section.
The bathhouse was originally built in 1851 and underwent major renovation by architect Alexander Popov in 1888. Before the 1917 revolution, it was owned by merchant Sergei Krashennikov.
These baths reflect a long-standing Russian bathing tradition where visitors experience intense heat followed by cold water immersion. This practice remains central to how locals understand wellness and daily life.
The entrance is straightforward to find, and changing areas are clearly separated by gender for easy navigation. Visiting on quieter days tends to offer a more comfortable experience with fewer crowds.
The premium section features mansard-style windows and accommodates up to 25 people in its steam room. This larger layout makes it a popular spot for groups wanting to bathe together.
