Sightseeing in Lipetsk - what to see. Complete travel guide

In 1709, the settlement formed near the plant was renamed Lipskiye and a little later - Lipetskiye Zhelezniye Zavody. In the second half of the 18th century, the settlement turned into the chief town Lipetsk that was a part of the Tambov Governorate. The plants built upon the order of Peter the Great had worked until the late 18th century. They were closed in 1795.
Lipetsk is divided into two parts with the Voronezh River. The historical district of the town is on the right bank where most of the residential buildings are located. Exactly this district attracts more inquisitive tourists who want to admire historical monuments. As for the left bank, this is an industrial district. The town is also visited by many business tourists, so the hotel and gastronomic infrastructure of Lipetsk deserves the highest praise.

In Lipetsk, fans of excursions should certainly visit the Borki Residence built in 1901. At the beginning of the 20th century, it belonged to the noble family. The residence resembles a real medieval castle with its silhouette. The historic building has been partially preserved to this day. In the first half of the 20th century, the residence belonged to the famous merchant Sheremetyev who built here a big stable and bred horses. After the Revolution, this historic building served as an orphanage and then school. The construction has recently been recognized as a historic monument of national significance.

Travelers with children should visit the Zoo of Lipetsk opened in 1973. Today, this zoo is a home for 3.5 thousand animals and birds of 300 species. Here, you can even see rare animals listed in the Red Book. Not so long ago, the petting zoo was opened in the territory of the zoological garden. Here, you can see the friendliest representatives of the animal world. In the zoo, educational excursions are often held for children of different ages.
