Historical facts

Kotelnicheskaya embankment stretches along the left bank of the Moskva River. She got her name thanks to the Kotelnicheskaya Sloboda, which used to be there, in which the craftsmen who made dishes and decorative objects made of metal lived. The place was chosen not casually, after all here there were storage rooms in which metal, delivered on the river from Urals Mountains was stored.

In the eighteenth century, artisans were pushed aside by merchants and representatives of the nobility. And already in the 1870s-1880s a stone embankment was built. For all of its existence, it survived only one major reconstruction - in the 30s of the twentieth century. Construction of the famous high-rise was started in 1938. Completely finished building was commissioned in 1952.
