✨ ZIL Cultural Centre

Восточная ул., 4, корп. 1

A 1930s palace of culture by the Vesnin brothers, with clubs, a concert hall and exhibitions.

The palace was built in 1931–1937 on the site of the demolished cathedral, walls and necropolis of the Simonov Monastery.
The design by the brothers Leonid and Alexander Vesnin was carried out only in part: the building for the large hall was never built.
According to the design, the building was to have a winter garden and an observatory on the roof.
In 1982 the Bolshoi Theatre soloist Gennady Ledyakh founded the Children's Ballet Theatre here, later the School of Classical Dance.
In 2008 the palace of culture was handed over to the city.
