The sights of Dubna are associated with the names of the famous industrialists of Russia in the 18–20th centuries: the Mosolovs and the Demidovs. But even before the era of the formation of the ancient Russian state, these lands were famous for the Vyatichi Slavic tribe living here. Today, you can find traces of settlements that existed in the 10–12th centuries: Berezovskoye, which is considered the ancient town of Volkonesk, Timofeyevskoye and Porechenskoye.
In order to study the history and sights of Dubna in more detail, we recommend that you visit the museum of local lore, where you will be told about the culture of the Slavic tribes who lived here, the contribution to the defense of the Great Zasechnaya Cherta (Great Abatis Border), the roots of the Demidov dynasty, the events of the Great Patriotic War, and the unparalleled labor exploits of local collective farms.
The most important attraction of Dubna is the Mosolovs estate, located at 50 Let VLKSM, 1. The historical building houses a modern museum dedicated to the dynasty of industrialists, a hotel, a restaurant, and even a civil registry office. The park, the pond and the model example of the 18–19th century noble estate turn out stunning in photos. It is no exaggeration to say that there is something to see in Dubna.
Another tourist attraction is the renovated museum of the discoverer of Alaska, Aleksei Chirikov. Here, museum workers will tell you the story of the Russian navigator who aided Vitus Bering on an expedition to Kamchatka. The exposition aims to immerse tourists in the early 18th century and convey to them the spirit of great marine geographical discoveries.
Dubensky District becomes a real surprise for tourists. Here you can relax outdoors and satisfy your craving for knowledge.
