Solnechnogorsk

Few towns in Moscow Oblast have a history as closely tied to the Nikolayev Railway as Solnechnogorsk. The settlement grew around Podsolnechnaya station on the Moscow–St Petersburg line, and in 1938 it received its present name and town status. Lake Senezh, an artificial lake created in the 19th century, defines the town’s northern edge; the Sestra River flows out from it. The lakeshore is also home to the Senezh House of Creativity, associated with Russian artists and designers. Solnechnogorsk remains a compact industrial town within Moscow’s wider orbit, yet its lakefront gives it a distinct character.
