Stroganov patrimony (Ilyinsky, Chermoz)

In addition to Usolya in the Urals, there is another "capital" of the Stroganovs - the village of Ilyinsky 100 km north-west of Perm on the shore of the Kama reservoir at the mouth of the Obva. The sights of Ilyinsky tell about the life of the cultural center of the Perm province during the XIX century. Once this small town was the center of all the Stroganov lands in the Kama region.

In 1747, the unprofitable salt fields were sold out, and the Stroganovs became only one of five owners. Usolye from the center of the Stroganov patrimony became the administrative center of salt fisheries, and in 1771 Alexander Stroganov moved the Ural residence to the village of Ilyinsky.

Ilyinsky is associated with the “golden autumn” of the Stroganovs, in whose hands no longer rotated mad capital, but remained acquired over 300 years of wealth and honor. And Ilyinsky himself is unlike the Ural settlements - it is a quiet and poetic town around the count's estate.

The village of Ilyinsky in the Perm Territory is one of the most beautiful settlements of the Kama region, and most importantly, it is here that the atmosphere of that distant time has reached our days.

The historic city preserves its traditions of hospitality. The factory-town of the times of first the Stroganovs, and then the princes of the Lazarevs, who built the factory settlement from 1778, has remained in its former layout to this day.

The main attraction of the city is the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God, with a lunar calendar and a chime clock, which is older than the existing Moscow one by 3 years. Architect I.M. Podyachev, 1829.
