Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Koungour Museum of Trade History
The museum explores Kungur’s merchants through trading and household objects. Porcelain, furniture and traces of tea culture give this history a material dimension beyond the town’s trading galleries.
Architectural heritage
Kungur Gostiny Dvor
Gostiny Dvor’s facades form a trading ensemble to explore visually. Repeated openings and the buildings’ length reveal their place in Kungur’s urban fabric.
Religious building
Church of Tikhvin in Koungour
The Tikhvin Church’s religious volumes and bell tower form a Kungur landmark. Facade colours and different levels invite comparison with the Transfiguration Church rather than confusing the two buildings.
Religious building
Koungour Transfiguration Church
The Transfiguration Church’s silhouette brings together several volumes and a bell tower. Pale facades and the building’s proportions add another religious-architecture stop to Kungur.
