Yegoryevsk, Russia

Our take

Yegoryevsk, Russia, is a charming town located about 100 kilometers from Moscow, often referred to as the "Russian Manchester" due to its industrial-style buildings reminiscent of those in England. This unique architectural influence stems from the town's historical ties to English business owners who designed these factories. During my first visit, I was captivated by the compact center and the character of the town, despite some buildings showing signs of wear.

Yegoryevsk is a Russian town located approximately 100 kilometers from Moscow.

This town is famous for its industrial style buildings which are similar to industrial buildings in England.

The owners of these factories also had business in England. That's why these builds look similar to those in England. Yegoryevsk is often called Russian Manchester.

It was the first time I visited it. The town is not big and the centre is quite compact. Unfortunately some buildings are in bad condition but they still impressed me.
