Fire tower and museum of firefighting: an ancient temple to protect against fire

Museums and Exhibitions
Directions
The building of the fire tower appeared in Kostroma in the first half of the XIX century. It looked so impressive that it delighted Tsar Nicholas I, who paid a visit to the city. From the 35-meter height of the tower the city was examined by the guard, who when noticing the fire, rang the bell and launched a balloon into the sky.
The fire tower was regularly serving the citizens for 180 years and "retired" only in 2005. Now a museum of firefighting is located in its premises. Its exposition tells about the history of fighting fires in the city on the Volga. Kostroma fire tower is a part of the architectural ensemble of the Susaninskaya Square, as well as the highest point of the city. The unique building is under the protection of UNESCO.
