On the banks of the Neiva River in the quiet town of Nevyansk, the famous tower of the whole Ural, which glorified not only the provincial town, but also generated a huge amount myths and legends

The inclined Nevyanskaya tower was not at the whim of the architect and his philanthropist Akinfiy Demidov, who supposedly dreamed of repeating the architectural feat of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but because of the subsidence of the foundation due to the groundwater during the erection, which made builders contrive and dostrad

Another feature of the tower is the clock mechanism installed on the upper tier, which still works. By the way, watch, brought already from England, cost 5 thousand rubles in gold.

The spire of the tower is also not simple, but lightning rod, in addition, a useful invention has seen the world before officially patented by Benjamin Franklin. And they say that in the walls of the tower the cruel master immured the hard labor masters who can not cope with the unbearable work, although the scientists passed with a kirochka, they did not find anything suspicious, but who knows what Demidov and his rabid disposition were capable of. Once in the tower there was a factory laboratory, a factory archive, a treasury office, a prison and a lookout (patrol) platform, now it is a landmark city with a magnificent observation platform and a curious museum in the cellar, and a favorite place for the local x wedding photosessions.
