Химмаш

Khimmash is a residential district along the southeastern shore of the Nizhne-Isetsky pond in Yekaterinburg, combining Soviet-era buildings with modern high-rises. The development spreads along the waterfront with diverse housing types from different periods.

The district emerged in 1941 when the Khimmash factory was relocated from Kiev, prompting rapid construction of worker housing. This wartime relocation shaped the early development of the area.

The Palace of Culture serves as a gathering place for residents and reflects the social life of the district. Regular performances and events here shape how people spend their leisure time.

The district is well connected by trolleybuses, buses, and minibuses to central Yekaterinburg. The waterfront location also provides walking and cycling paths for exploring the surroundings.

A church dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was reconstructed in 2016 at its original location after being demolished in 1974. This rebuilding marks the return of a significant community landmark.
