Kasli cast iron pavilion
Kasli cast iron pavilion, Cast iron architectural masterwork in Yekaterinburg, Russia
The Kasli cast iron pavilion is a 9 meter tall structure made entirely of cast iron with intricate Byzantine Revival details. The rectangular building comprises over 1,500 separate components assembled into one architectural composition.
The structure was created in 1899 specifically for the 1900 Paris World Exhibition. Its exceptional quality earned it the Grand Prix award and attracted interest from the French President.
The craftsmen who created this structure signed their work by stamping their names onto individual cast iron pieces. This practice reveals how skilled workers took pride in contributing to something that would last for centuries.
This structure sits on a granite platform in the cast iron exhibition hall at the Yekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts. Visitors can walk around it from different angles to examine the detailed ironwork.
This is the only cast iron building preserved as a complete original work in any museum collection worldwide. UNESCO recognizes it as a remarkable industrial art achievement.
