Sights in Nerchinsk

  1. Butin Palace Museum

    Butin’s four mammoth mirrors form the centrepiece of the Butin Palace Museum, along with a delightful pair of hobbit- style chairs crafted from polished tangles of birch roots. Three-quarters of the palace, including the grand, triple-arched gateway (demolished in 1970), have yet to be rebuilt.

  2. Voskresensky Cathedral

    The active 1825 Voskresensky Cathedral looks like an opera house from the outside; its interior is plain and whitewashed.
