One of the unusual architectural monuments, which, perhaps, does not attract too much attention, is the Steppe Tseykhhaus. The name translates from German as "military warehouse". The structure was erected in the middle of the XIX century in order to protect the southern borders of the Empire.
The architectural ensemble of the zeichhaus includes the main building, the courtyard and one-story service buildings. Of particular interest are the facades of the building. The pattern of colored bricks, from which the walls are built, resembles Bashkir carpets. The object has reached our time without changes.
Today the building is in disrepair, although it has been recognized as a cultural heritage site. The warehouse is at the disposal of the Ministry of Defense. But perhaps it will be restored and turned into some kind of museum or art object.
Orenburg is a city where many nations and cultures are intertwined, an interesting place to get acquainted with the eastern tradition of Orenburg region is the Caravanserai complex.
Once merchants and travelers could rest here. And the original purpose of the building was to create barracks for the Bashkir army. After the detachment was abolished, the building was in disrepair for several years. Later, it housed the city administration.
The complex includes several buildings, including a mosque. During the Soviet persecution of religion, a planetarium was opened in it, and the building of the former barracks was turned into a club.
Nowadays, a Muslim association of the same name is based in the walls of the Caravanserai. And the mosque accepts parishioners again. The interior of the temple delights with its exquisite Bashkir ornaments on the ceiling, as well as carpets and stained glass windows. Anyone can get here for free.
Another noteworthy architectural monument of Orenburg is the Water Tower. The building belongs to one of the most recognizable in the city. Restrained decor, pointed and arched windows, contrasting facades make this tower elegant and visually light.
In the old days, art workshops, student clubs, and commercial organizations were located here. In Soviet times, the facility was used for its intended purpose. Nowadays, there is a burger joint and an electronics store within its walls.
