Koryazhma, Industrial town in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.
Description
Koryazhma is an industrial town in Arkhangelsk Oblast situated on the Vychegda River. The landscape is shaped by a large paper mill and residential areas spread along the riverbanks.
History
The settlement began in 1535 with the establishment of Koryazhemsky Nikolaevsky Monastery at a river confluence. By the 20th century, a paper mill transformed it into a modern industrial center.
Culture
The town centers around its religious monuments, including the Church of the Holy Mandylion and Saint Longin Church, both connected to the settlement's monastic origins. These buildings reflect the enduring ties between the community and its spiritual past.
Practical
The town is accessible by train on the Kotlas-Vorkuta route and regular river services operate on the Vychegda. Winter months bring extreme cold, and river navigation may stop when ice forms.
Did you know?
The Ilim Group operates one of Europe's largest chemical pulp and paper mills in the town. This facility is not only a major employer but also shapes the local identity and economy.
