Troitskiy District reveals its local history through specific houses and churches: in Nizhnyaya Sanarka, the local library is housed in the home of the Dubkov Cossack family. Built in 1830, the building features carved wooden window surrounds. For travelers who consider architectural history alongside scenery when choosing a destination, this is a clear local point of interest.
Houses, Churches, and Nature in Troitskiy District

The two houses offer different points of interest: the carved window surrounds at the Dubkov house, and the distinctive character of wooden construction at the former Ataman’s house.
A wooden church was built in 1837 in the settlement of Osipovka, part of the Kosobrodskaya stanitsa. The former Elias Church building in Osipovka was used as a club. In Klyastitskoye, the Church of the Nativity of Christ is one of the district’s historic and cultural sites. The wooden church built in 1837 and the former Elias Church’s use as a club are separate details about Osipovka. The Church of the Nativity of Christ in Klyastitskoye is another historic point of interest in the district.
Troitskiy District’s connection to nature is also clearly identified. One of the district’s four specially protected natural areas is the Troitsk Training and Experimental Farm, which is referred to as the Berlin Reserve.
