Sights of Kostanay

The history of the city of Kostanay goes back to 1879, when a settlement of Russians and Ukrainians was formed on the left bank of the Tobol. And in 1893, the settlement was given the status of a city and given the name Nikolaevsk. The city began to develop and at the beginning of the 20th century became a large trade and fair center in Kazakh steppes. An interesting fact is that there is a brewery in the city, which was built at the expense of a Swiss; at the beginning of the 20th century it was a large plant in the entire Southern Urals and in the territory of modern Kazakhstan. The factory was built of red brick and is one of the oldest buildings in the city. Today Kostanay is a large administrative center of Kazakhstan, and the region is the largest supplier of grain crops. Kostanay is a modern city with modern architecture.

Among the attractions of the city of Kostanay, I would like to highlight the Kostanay Regional Museum of History and Local Lore. The museums contain 109000 museum exhibits; here you can see unique finds from the Stone Age and Bronze Age. Since 1995, the museum has been located in a building that is an architectural monument of the early 20th century.mart_1-640x360

 Another attraction of Kostanay is the regional Kazakh drama theater named after. Omarova and Kostanay Russian Drama Theater. It should be noted that just as the buildings themselves are an architectural landmark of the city, the theaters themselves play a big role in the cultural life of the city and the country, participating in various republican and international festivals.kostanajskij_oblastnoj_kazahskij_teatr_drami

The city is decorated with monuments, including some interesting in their architectural design: a monument to a girl with a laptop and a monument to Charlie Chaplin.information_items_11516

 The monument to the Conquerors of Virgin Lands has been pleasing to the eyes of Kostanay residents and city guests for decades, also being a landmark of Kostanay. The monument is dedicated to the development of virgin lands.

Among the modern buildings of Kostanay, which are not only a decoration of the city, but also a favorite vacation spot, the Octopus Water Park and the Ice Palace stand out. These two attractions of Kostanay are very popular especially among young people.

The embankment of the Tobol River was built quite recently, but has already become a favorite vacation spot for city residents in the summer.
