History and memorial sites in Korenovsk

The Korenovsky District Local History Museum is located in Korenovsk at 144 Lenin Street, in a building constructed in 1910. Before the Revolution, it belonged to the merchant Arutyunov; in the 1930s, it was handed over to a printing house. By 2000, a permanent exhibition had been opened in the Hall of Military Glory. The collections include ethnographic objects, numismatics, documents, photographs, applied arts and technical objects. The exhibition description for the Hall of Kuban Everyday Life mentions a diorama about the settlement of the Korenovsky kuren, Cossack household items and a reconstructed Cossack house. Before visiting, check which exhibitions are currently on display.

Other sites offer different points of interest: the Alley of Glory in Korenovsk opened in May 1995. It honors city residents who were Heroes of the Soviet Union or full holders of the Order of Glory. The Church of Saint Vladimir, Equal to the Apostles, was consecrated on July 28, 2005. The Church of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified is considered to have been founded in 1833, when a wooden church was built. In Platnirovskaya, a war memorial with an Eternal Flame and a Mother sculpture commemorates residents of Platnirovskaya and the hamlets of Kazachiy and Levchenko who were killed or went missing during the Second World War. The Holy and Life-Giving Trinity Church in Platnirovskaya has been recognized as a historical and cultural monument of Krasnodar Krai since 2001.
