Morozovsky Town in Tver: Red Brick and the Breath of Time

#hellohalloween

When you enter the neighborhood between the Tmaka River and the old railroad, it feels like you've stepped into another century.
Before you lies an entire red brick town: factory buildings, apartment buildings, barracks, a theater, a school. Everything was built in the late 19th century for the workers of Morozov's factory, the greatest industrialist of his time.

The architecture is austere and beautiful—a blend of neo-Gothic and industrial Art Nouveau. Even the air here is different: it smells of time, metal, and the dampness of brick after rain. In the evenings, when the sun sets behind the buildings, the town takes on a particularly cinematic quality—the shadows cast long shadows, the windows sparkle, and you can hear the wind blowing through the empty courtyards.

📍 How to get there
Morozovsky Gorodok is located in Tver, in the Proletarsky District, not far from the city center. It's a 30-40-minute walk from the train station, or you can take buses #10, 11, or 52 to the Morozovsky Gorodok stop.

👣 What to see
— The main street with the Paris building and factory facades.
— Old workers' residential buildings—simple but full of character.
— The theater and the remaining factory gates.
— The contrast between the old industrial quarter and the modern city.
