On the left bank of the Oka River is located in the suburbs of Dzerzhinsk unique architectural structure - the Shukhov Tower. 128-meter hyperboloid delicate tower of steel was designed by engineer Vladimir Grigorievich Shukhov in 1929.

The architectural structure is a multi-section transmission line support, made in the form of supporting steel mesh sheath. 25-meter section of the form are SSB hyperboloids of rotation made of straight profiles, the abutting ends of the annular base. On the top section of the set design with steel traverse the length of eighteen meters, used for fixing the three high-voltage wires. The base of the tower - a concrete foundation ring diameter and thirty meters.

As the great Russian engineer from 1927 to 1929 it was built six hyperbolic towers, power lines were holding multi-ton, two support twenty meters, two meters and sixty-two left-bank support transmission lines of 128 meters. In 1989, the 60- and 20-meter supports were removed, and two 128-meter towers were left as a legacy of the great Russian scientist engineer. In May 2005, he was brutally dismantled for scrap one of the monuments of technical thought, erected on the Oka River.

Today the Shukhov Tower, served for more than seventy years, has only a tourist and historical features. According to the principle of the Shukhov's hyperboloid towers were built hundreds of plants in Japan, Switzerland and Spain. In Russia, the most famous Shukhov Tower in Shabolovka is located in Moscow, built in the 1920s is technically inferior to Nizhny Novgorod.

High-rise towers in the suburbs of Dzerzhinsk was declared a cultural monument and a unique technical structure, which is engaged in the study of all architectural institutions in the world.
