Dam on the Kamenka river
Dam on the Kamenka river, Regional heritage dam in Kamensk-Uralsky, Russia
The stone and earth dam spans across the Kamenka River, measuring 117 meters in length and 31 meters in width at its upper section.
Construction of the dam began in 1700 under the direction of Ivan Astrakhantsev and master builder Ermolai Neklyudov following orders from Peter the Great.
The dam represents one of the first industrial structures in the Urals region, marking the beginning of Russian industrial development in the area.
Visitors can reach the dam by taking bus routes 2 or 8 to the Local History Museum stop, followed by a 350-meter walk.
The right bank retains its original supporting wall constructed from rubble stone, demonstrating 18th-century engineering techniques in the Ural region.
