«Nevyanskaya Tower» was built in 1721-1725 by order of Akinfiy Demidov.
The height of the tower is ~58 metres. Deviation of the tower from the vertical - ~1.9 metres (at the top point). Family tower of the Demidovs (the Demidovs are hereditary noblemen, a dynasty of Russian businessmen, founders of the mining industry in the Urals and Siberia).
«Nevyanskaya Tower» is the younger sister of the «Tower of Pisa» (😊). Not falling, but exactly tilting ( ARCHITECTORS).

What we will see and visit in the tower: A room with a unique ancient mechanical clock. A secret staircase in the wall. Balcony - a viewing platform.
A peek into the ‘sound (hearing)’ room. According to eyewitness accounts, Demidov used to eavesdrop on uncooperative auditors. Being in one corner of the room, one can easily understand what is being whispered in the other. The sound from the voice is transmitted along the walls to opposite corners, while standing in the centre of the person can hear nothing.
We will mint our own Demidov coin, on a special antique machine.
We will visit a room that may tell us the truth about the unpredictable Akinfiy Demidov.
