Gorodskaa kuznica XVII veka, Smolensk
Facts and practical information
The smithy is the oldest secular building in the city of Smolensk. It is located at 8a Lenina St.
The house was built at the turn of the 17th-18th centuries and is the oldest civilian building in Smolensk. In the beginning, when Smolensk was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the house served as the city archive.
In 1785 the "Polish archive" was adapted as a smithy of the Engineering House. Subsequently, the engineering house was destroyed, but the smithy survived.
Now the smithy is hidden in one of the city courtyards and is a little deep in the ground. Since 1982, this house has housed the Museum of Blacksmithing, which displays authentic blacksmith's tools, anvils, furs and blacksmith's craft of the XVII - XIX centuries.
