As a boy, I heard numerous stories about underground catacombs and manholes under the streets of our city, where countless treasures are stored.
It was said that the most extensive cellars were under.
A steep vaulted tunnel behind a rusty iron door overgrown with grass led along an underground passage directly across the river to the Romodanovskaya Church of the Nativity of the Virgin. True, he was overwhelmed. Later, in the late 1980s, the manhole was concreted from the children.
Demidov Treasures
The underwater tunnel, apparently, was located just below the modern Gagarin bridge across the Oka. Many Kaluga residents have heard the story of how the bottom of the river suddenly sank almost two meters with a dredger. According to an eyewitness - foreman Vasily Ignatov, the shell threw bricks, human bones, shards and even silver coins from the time of Boris Godunov along with the sand. But most valuable find became a golden cross with nine large pearls. Now it is in the private collection of the Moscow collector Sergei Kochubanov.
This secret hole near the Oka was also used by the rebel working people of the Demidov factories in the Romodanovskaya volost in 1752. Archival documents mention that they made sorties from the right bank to Kaluga, bypassing the guard regiments. At the same time, the Demidov jewels, which have not been found so far, disappeared. It is quite possible that the gold and pearls of the industrialist Demidov hidden in the dungeon are used by Kaluga residents every day to walk on the sidewalks of Kaluga.
Golden fever
IN late XIX century, it swept Kaluga. It began with the fact that as a result of week-long downpours on the slope, a strong landslide exposed an ancient vault leading to the dungeons. In its labyrinths, more than 10 Kaluga residents, including high school students, disappeared without a trace. In September 1886, at the urgent request of the merchants and the townspeople, the Kaluga governor Artsimovich, by his decree, walled up the entrance to the dungeon.
Repeatedly described historical fact that at the beginning of the 17th century there were rebels of Ivan Bolotnikov in Kaluga, who for almost half a year fortified the Kaluga fortress and built underground manholes in order to strike the tsarist troops besieging the city from the rear.
Apparently, builders discovered one of these underground passages in the mid-1960s. When laying trolleybus lines near the former Pioneer cinema (now -), they stumbled upon a large well with branches in four directions. In the same place, the remains of a Polish nobleman in medieval knightly armor were found. The workers were in a hurry, so the failure was quickly buried, and the remains were reburied.
Warehouses for merchants
In the 1990s, a group of enthusiasts created the Dungeon-90 search expedition in Kaluga. The guys even made a map of the "catacomb Kaluga". According to expedition member Viktor Fedotov, the underground passages they managed to visit served as a link between estates and churches. So, a two-kilometer passage, dug at a depth of 5 meters: from to to with access to the Oka, was, in fact, a warehouse. Here, Kaluga merchants kept goods brought along the Oka to the pier at the Vorobyovskaya ferry. Grain was found in chests and chests - in case of famine. We also found wine cellars.
According to the stories of the search engines, underground manholes connected the Lavrentiev Monastery with the fortress. Suffice it to recall the legend of how the Kaluga saint Lawrence suddenly appeared on the Oka River and helped the Kaluga prince Simeon repulse the Agarian raid on plows.
There was an underground passage under the former Fischer's brewery - up to Voronin Square, overlooking Novy Torg, where the drama theater is now located.
July 2007 During the construction of a road junction on Smolenka, unknown buildings were discovered.
It is likely that these are merchant cellars.
Or maybe not...
Treasure of the impostor
The underground passage also connected the building of the government offices, where the Kaluga branch of the Moscow State Technical University named after V.I. Bauman. Georgy Malakhov, who worked in this building after the war, said that in a huge basement, towards the main entrance, an iron door was discovered, behind which an underground passage began. He himself went down the stairs. True, after the war, only a small section of the vaulted tunnel up to 2 meters high, lined with limestone, was preserved. Further, the passage was closed due to the collapse of the vault. According to the researchers, it led through the Berezuisky ravine to the Chambers of the merchant Korobov, mistakenly called the home of the first foreign woman crowned on the Russian throne, Marina Mnishek. Here, by the way, Kaluga residents also unsuccessfully searched for gold treasures looted during the time of the Kaluga tsar False Dmitry II, who was killed in the forest in 1610. The military treasury, which consisted of a huge amount of gold coins, was allegedly buried by the impostor in Tushino near Moscow. However, after his escape to Kaluga, part of the treasury ended up in our city and was probably safely hidden in the Kaluga catacombs. Until now, the legendary treasure of False Dmitry II has not been found. So underground Kaluga still keeps a lot of secrets and finds.
When the foundation was being erected under the house on Voskresenka, they stumbled upon an underground passage. On the steps, overgrown with moss, lay human bones...
Search under the monastery
Another place covered with legends about dungeons is the territory of the Kazan maiden monastery. Now here is the Regional Archive.
There were legends that secret passages from the monastery lead almost to Saltykovka. But, apparently, these are only legends. However, there is no smoke without fire.
In the early 40s, after the occupation, in an abandoned monastery, or rather, in its cellars, raids were more than once carried out on all kinds of declassed elements - deserters, fugitive criminals and others who gathered in gangs and kept the entire local people in fear.
Old-timers recall that it began with the murder of two policemen on Cooperative Village Street.
Then three trucks with soldiers arrived at the monastery. A shootout ensued. Some of the bandits were caught, some were killed, and some hid in the cellars of the monastery, the old-timers recalled. - The soldiers searched for the fugitives, but did not find anyone. According to them, some of the passages were littered with explosions, and some were flooded with water. Leaving sentries, the military left. But no one else came out of the cellars.
Then local boys began to disappear in the basements - they left and did not return. What happened to them is still a mystery. But the locals claim that they could have been sprinkled in the distant corridors of the dungeon or they got lost...
It was only in the early 1950s that the entrances to the cellars were bricked up. They entrusted this to military builders. Before starting work, the surviving cellars were carefully examined. One of the participants in those events - Konstantin Aleksandrovich Ivanov - recalled that they were, indeed, large and branched. Some of the branches were blocked, some were flooded. But, what is most characteristic - all the branches had a downward slope! Which once again confirms the opinion that these are underground passages. No one's remains were found in the cellars, however, as well as treasures. The only thing is that a lot of copper 1-kopeck coins of royal minting were scattered on the floor in one of the passages. Builders scored almost a bucket. Maybe it was someone's treasure? The cellars were concreted, but the locals still believed that the dungeons of the monastery remained intact.
Kirill Salnikov does not stop searching for interesting (and this time also little-known) places located around our city.
In this review, he will tell, show and tell you how to get to where a Kaluga resident has not set foot for a long time.
1. Bridge in the forest
One kilometer from the station Gorenskaya there is an object with very interesting fate. They get to it like this - in the western direction from the station there is a clearing with signs "Cable. Don't dig! (in winter, a mega-ski track is laid along it from the source in the Tikhonova Hermitage to Tsiolkovsky Park).
Go along the clearing for a little less than a kilometer. On the sides you can see the remains of dugouts. The clearing is crossed by an embankment of an abandoned road.
It was planned that the Kiev highway would pass a little closer to Kaluga, from the Tikhonova Pustyn station it would go to Mstikhino, and then to Vorotynsk. The earth embankment was partially made, even a small bridge was built in the middle of the forest. But in those same years, it was decided to build a huge reservoir on the Oka.
The future route fell into the flood area, and it was moved to the west. Because of the war, the reservoir was never built, but the route was not moved back. As a result, they built it through Kurovskoye, but for a different reason - to bypass the settlements. The bridge is impressive. It looks like a forgotten concrete bunker from the war.
2. Barracks of the Gruzdovsky quarry
Gruzdovsky quarry is a rather famous place. Next to it are two large ponds for recreation and fishing. The quarry began to be developed back in the 30s - crushed stone was taken out by narrow-gauge railway to the Pyatovskaya station, then reloaded into ordinary wagons. There was nothing left of the narrow-gauge railway, the rails were removed long ago, the tracks were overgrown.
According to rumors, until the 90s, only one trolley lay in the quarry, but it was also dragged to the metal.
In the northern part of the quarry, one can find well-preserved cellars of barracks where prisoners were kept.
3. Pagan temple in Krasotynka
In the field near the village Krasotynki there are bizarre structures made of wood - this is pagan temple (temple). Of course, this is a remake, like the culture of modern neo-pagans itself, restored from the books of Russian historians.
As it was in reality, no one remembers. From time to time, followers of the ancient cult spend their holidays in Krasotynka.
4. Bell tower in the forest
Between settlements Zhelyabuzhsky, Felisovo and Resurrection once there was a village on the busy Serpukhov road Fedosovo.
The road has been abandoned for a long time, it’s not possible to drive along it and on an SUV everywhere, so getting to former village better walking from Felisovo.
Belfry in summer it is easy to miss behind dense vegetation, in winter there are no problems with navigation. The bell tower was left from the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary built in 1815. The village itself was destroyed in the war.
5. Osieki
In 1892, the future writer I. S. Sokolov-Mikitov was born in this place. It is located less than a kilometer from the Kaluga-Przemysl highway on an overgrown forest road between Gorensky and Sushki.
First, go along the clearing to the power line, after the power line the road forks, you need the one that goes a little south, after a hundred meters there will be an information board, around which you can find the remains of the house of the forester - the father of the writer.
There is not much left: an overgrown pond with a dam, trenches and stones from the house, some larches, there is also a feeder with salt for forest animals. If you go back to the power line and walk along it half a kilometer to the south, then in the forest near the road leading into the forest you can see the remains of either a hospital or a field camp from the time of the Great Patriotic War.
6. Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Near Borshchevka
In the area of the Karachevskaya poultry farm is the Borshchevskoye cemetery. It is practically invisible from the road, but if you walk a little along the fence, then graves will appear, and among the graves you can see a hill of garbage, stones and earth.
This is all that remains of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Near Borshchevka. The temple built in 1700 was destroyed in Soviet time. The village is gone too. The wooden cross erected in the early 2000s on the altar site was also littered. There must be a holy spring nearby, but I could not find it.
7. Tomb of the unknown soldier near the village of Kosarevo
Between the villages of Kosarevo and Kanishchevo, at the edge of the forest on a high cliff, there is a grave unknown soldier.
From the last house in Kosarevo to it about a hundred meters, a spring near the Terepets River, which is located almost directly above the grave below, can also serve as a guide.
There are many mass graves in the region, but this one is especially dear to me. There is no pretentious reinforced concrete on it, it does not burn Eternal flame, the usual grave of a simple soldier ...
8. Grave of Lieutenant Avdeev
Another grave for a long time (until 1987) was the grave of an unknown soldier, but thanks to an initiative group of students high school № 46, managed to find out the name of an unknown soldier.
The grave of Lieutenant Avdeev, who died at this place during the Great Patriotic War, defending the village of Yermolovo, is located near the house N26 on Kibalchicha Street, Kubyak microdistrict.
9. Oreshkovo
Abandoned airfield near Vorotynsk. The pilots left it about 5 years ago. Now local aviation enthusiasts live in half-abandoned hangars. There were plans to dismantle the runway, but the runway was defended.
10. Sergiev Skit
In the forest, near the village of Mstikhino, Sergiev Skete, founded in 1906, was once located. The monastery was closed in 1919 and rebuilt in Kid `s camp. Named after the skete railroad station, now it bears the name Kaluga-2. Of all the buildings, only the water tower has been preserved.
You can get to the skete by car, passing by the Stroitel sanatorium and the cottage of a respected person.
11. Demidov pits
In the old days, there was an ironworks on Vyrka. Almost nothing remained of it, except for the dam, which formed a large pond, and places where ore was mined and charcoal was obtained. These ancient quarries also have their own name - the Demidov pits.
They are located between the old overgrown road from the village of Upper Vyrka to Vyrka Lower, and a beautiful stream that flows into Vyrka also between the villages.
The dimensions of the workings are impressive - they were made by hand starting from the second half of the 18th century.
12. Boat base - Turyninsky berth
Once upon a time, huge turbines were manufactured at the Kaluga Turbine Plant, which were transported by barges along the rivers. For this purpose, new buildings were built near the river in Turynino, and there was also a pier. Now on the pier, under the protection of good-natured dogs, river boats rest, in particular the boat "Luch", which sailed between Kaluga and Aleksin.
Educational building at the former airfield. It has several hangars, a two-story educational building and household buildings. In the educational building there are many classrooms, departments, a laboratory. As of September 2017, there are a lot of devices, layouts, posters lying around. One of the hangars is worth conservation AN-2. Almost all hangars are empty. Guarded by a man with a dog, he is located at the checkpoint. There is at least one observation tower...

Kaluga Aviation Flight Technical School. It produced state aviation pilots. Abandoned in the second half of the zero. The territory is vast. There are several dormitories converted into various children's clubs. Not a small shelter under the parade ground, but alas, flooded above the knee and littered. Aviation-sports parachuting club and several buildings with models of engines, aircraft cockpits and classrooms. Everything is good enough...

A dead end with compounds that did not pass the test in Shcherbinka. Some are just obsolete. There are electric trains of increased comfort, such as EM2I. Also simple ER2T. All compounds are sawn into metal, but new ones are occasionally brought in. Fenced with barbed wire. The gate is closed on an iron hook from the inside, it is completely freely removed from the outside. There is no security, but employees of the Russian Railways may come to the noise or silently call the police.

The shelter of the Kaluga electrode plant is a separate building, two sloping entrances from the street. One of them is attached to the building. All airlocks are locked. Climbing only through a fairly deep vsh and approach at a distance of 20-30 meters. VS is flooded quite seriously. Inside is empty, diesel could not be found. Security is located somewhere on the territory of the plant.

On the territory of the fleet there are car boxes and several warehouses. On the basis of this unit, the 53rd Special Purpose Brigade (OSNAZ) was formed, which was later relocated to another location. The car park is located on the territory of the active military unit. There are no personnel other than those on duty at the KTP. Warehouses have a variety of spare parts for equipment. The car pits are empty except for the various...

Abandoned part of the military camp. The abandoned part consists of 4 buildings. One of them looks like something educational: on the ground floor all the rooms are classrooms, the rest of the floors are standard rooms of unknown purpose. The second building has on each floor a large hall, having a size of about 70% of the entire floor. The third building is similar to the second, but on the roof you can find an incomprehensible device on wheels. From the roof you have a beautiful view of Kaluga....
Mystical house in Kaluga.
This first residential building of the "modern" type in Kaluga was built in 1937 according to the project of architect Mikhail Ilyenko. The building was equipped with large kitchens, comfortable bathrooms and showers. It was not intended, of course, ordinary people- for the party and leading urban elite.
A house was built on the site of the ancient church of the Archangel Michael. As they say historical sources, a wooden church stood here back in XVII century. In 1687, instead of it, a stone temple was erected with five domes and a chapel of John the Warrior. In 1813, a bell tower was added to the temple - money for this was given by the Kaluga merchant Yakov Bilibin. Before the revolution, this parish church was popular among the officers and soldiers of the local garrison, who, before entering the service, came here to receive a blessing to defend the Fatherland.
The church was closed in the early 1930s, when the authorities decided to demolish the building and build an elite residential building in its place. Unable to withstand the closure of the temple, the last priest who served in it, John Zaretsky, soon died. He was buried at the Pyatnitsky cemetery. The church was dismantled, part of the brick was used for construction kindergarten, and part - for the construction of the same house. They decided to leave the church cellar, which stretched along Darwin Street, and arrange a boiler room in it. Burials of clergymen were found in the basement, the remains were taken out in an unknown direction. Now in the basement of the building there are commercial firms, as well as a diving school.
According to the current residents of the house, ghosts are seen here quite regularly. This usually happens every autumn, in late October - early November. Mysterious dark silhouettes appear in different parts of the house. At this time, pets behave restlessly, and people in their apartments are "covered" with a chilling cold and a feeling of fear.
Once, one of the residents of the house, named Marina, heard someone pulling the handle of the front door. At her own peril and risk, the woman decided to open the door, but there was no one on the landing. After that, she more than once observed some shadows in her apartment, and sometimes she sees images of monks in black cassocks ... Sometimes mysterious sounds are heard in the rooms.
Most likely, something tragic really happened here this autumn, Marina believes. - Maybe they broke and ruined the church itself, or maybe they shot people in the former church cellars. My grandmother told me that it was in our apartment that after the occupation of Kaluga there was a military tribunal.
According to the local historian Alexander Dneprovsky, in the courtyard of house No. 100 on Lenin Street, on the site of the current flower bed, there used to be an Arkhangelsk spring. It is still preserved underground. An underground stream stretches across the entire quarter, to the very bank of the Oka. Because of this, the building of the Regional Art Museum (the former home of the Bilibins) had to be moved aside. Under the Nikitsky Church, the stream turns onto Karpova Street and into Gostinoryadsky Lane.
“The former Leninsky Square is a large pond, a lake, from where two canals with water began: one went along Kropotkin Street and connected with the Berezuisky ravine, and the other along Naberezhnaya Street, where the Diocese building is located,” says Alexander Dneprovsky. “This part was filled up and was named Trubnaya Square (the pipe has been lying since the 18th or 19th century). Beneath us, the pipes are not cast iron, but ceramic, which are still functioning. We can only admire the Kaluga masters."
The neighborhood with the source is not too happy. He repeatedly flooded the museum cellars, and in 1980 he flooded house No. 105 on the same Lenin Street, where the local society for the protection of monuments was located. Maybe the souls of the dead monks are angry at those who invaded their territory?
Coffins float on the reservoir.
At one time in our school they talked about the fact that once there was an ancient cemetery on the site of the reservoir. But then it was filled with water. The dead have not forgiven this. You can’t swim there - the dead can be dragged to the bottom. And from time to time, coffins float up on the reservoir. They are caught by lifeguards on boats.
I remember when I was little, this story really impressed me. Moreover, the girl classmate who told her assured that she herself personally saw coffins with crosses floating on the water. I came home, could not resist and told my grandmother about everything, but she, a native Kaluga woman, laughed for a long time: “What a cemetery! There were vegetable gardens! We used to plant potatoes there!”
Bodies flooded in the quarry.
Another very common legend is that in the Lev-Tolstovsky quarry the whole bottom is filled with corpses. Allegedly, they have been lying there since the 1990s: bandits from all over the Kaluga region brought the people they killed here. First, the heads of corpses were concreted in a bucket or basin so that the bodies would not float up, and then they were drowned in a quarry. And the fact that crayfish live in the water only confirms the presence of corpses.
- Swimming in a quarry, we were always afraid to step on a corpse at the bottom, - a local resident Elena Bulkina told us. - They also said that sometimes the concreted heads were separated from the body, and the rotten corpses floated up.
This fictional story has been living among the people for more than 20 years. Until now, some parents, for educational purposes, tell her children so that they do not go alone to swim in the quarry.
The ghost survives everyone from the house.
The ghost of a beautiful girl lives in the Terenins' house (registry office, which is next to the city government). The story is very old and sad. At the end of the 18th century, the wealthy merchant Matvey Medyntsev built a house for his daughter Lyuba. She married Vasily Terenin, went on a honeymoon, on the way she had appendicitis, and she died of peritonitis. Now Lyuba comes to her house at night, where she practically did not live, and walks here. In addition, after the death of the girl, the house seemed to be cursed. For a long time no one lived in it. The heirs died from any diseases, and the heirs died in the war. People believed that Lyuba takes away everyone who invades her possessions.
By the way, this story is confirmed by employees Museum of Local Lore. But none of them saw a ghost.
A witch lives near the cemetery.
The Pyatnitskoye cemetery is also a mystical object. There are many terrible legends about this place: from gatherings of Satanists to the appearance of ghosts and even Death itself. Therefore, it is better not to go here at night. The cemetery is old, noble Kaluga merchants are buried here, sculptures and unusual tombstones are installed on their graves. At night, behind the fences, blue lights light up by themselves. And if you see a light, then you need to turn away and run from this place. You can’t turn around, because behind you are black shadows - ghosts. Everyone who turned around died soon after.
The good ghost of a girl lives in the cemetery, which, according to legend, helps all lovers. The legend says that the girl fell in love and came to her boyfriend every day. But one day, on the way to her lover, she was hit by a car. A sculpture was installed on the grave of the girl. Over time, people noticed that at midnight the statue comes to life and turns its head.
And Kaluga residents living near the cemetery, on Pukhova Street, said that in the house where he used to be book Shop, the ground floor has a scary window and a balcony. There lives an old hunchbacked witch. And it’s better not to walk past this house so that she doesn’t send damage.
Between two churches.
In the village of Leo Tolstoy, local residents told the following story: during the war, a treasure was hidden in the monastery - many old gold coins. And in order to save the gold, not to give it to the Nazis, the monks threw coins into the ponds. Until now, people find them at the bottom.
And the village of Leo Tolstoy stands between two churches, which means that evil spirits are found here. And once a local resident went into the forest, and returned gray-haired, although he was only 30 years old. He saw devils in the clearing and was so frightened that he instantly turned gray.
Window to space.
One of the most widespread legends is the assertion that Kaluga was built on the mouth of a huge volcano. Due to this location, it is here that a strong connection with the energy of the earth manifests itself. Quite often, Kaluga residents observe unusual a natural phenomenon- a crimson fog, which, according to them, is of cosmic origin. There is even a theme for this documentary"Kaluga. Window to space.
Devil's settlement.
most popular mystical place is the Devil's settlement, although it is located not in Kaluga itself, but in the region. There are many similar ruins all over Russia. Usually people disappear here, the inexplicable happens, but in the Kaluga region the picture is a little different. It is assumed that initially it was not a settlement, but a place for religious rites and prayers of the Vyatichi, which they chose because of the abnormal energy and connection with something unearthly. However, anomalous phenomena are still taking place in the Devil's Settlement. Locals said that here they had seen luminous objects, inexplicable atmospheric phenomena, and even cases of chronoanomalies were recorded!
Kaluga is one of the quietest Russian cities. Nevertheless, it also has its own "haunted house", which was chosen by paranormal researchers. It is located at the "speaking" address - Lenin Street, 100. The devilry going on here is associated with the fact that the building was built on the site of the demolished temple. Such places are often considered unsettled.
This first "modern" residential building in Kaluga was built in 1937 according to the project of architect Mikhail Ilyenko. The building was equipped with large kitchens, comfortable bathrooms and showers. It was intended, of course, not for ordinary people - for the party and leading urban elite.
