Siversky

Siversky is a settlement that stretches along the Oredezh River and connects to the Leningrad region through a railway network. The community has facilities focused on timber processing and construction materials, providing work for many local residents.

The settlement grew rapidly after the 1857 opening of Siverskaya railway station, which made it a popular destination for visitors from Saint Petersburg. This connection transformed both the local population and the economy fundamentally.

The Dachnaya Stolitsa Ethnographic Museum displays how people lived here during the 1800s and 1900s, showing everyday life in the Saint Petersburg suburbs. The collection preserves memories of when city residents came to escape urban routines and spend time in this quieter setting.

The location is accessible by public transport and has basic facilities for visitors. The best time to visit is from May through September, when the weather is milder and more activities are available.

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul and the Stroganov Bridge are notable landmarks that have survived to the present day. These structures show the architectural heritage of the place from a distant past.
