history

Nicholas Church in Lytkarino

The place probably originated in the early 15th century. Initially, the village is said to have belonged to a monastery at that time, which was located in the Moscow Kremlin . As early as the 14th century there were quarries along the banks of the Moskva near the town, which had also supplied building materials for Moscow . Until the 19th century, the main occupation of the inhabitants of Lytkarino was the mining of white stone. The former quarries are no longer preserved today, even if a few traces still remind of them.

It was not until the end of the 19th century that a number of industrial companies were established in Lytkarino, including a textile factory. A factory for the production of optical glass was added in the 1930s .

Lytkarino has been an independent city since 1957.

Economy and Transport

Today Lytkarino is an industrial and research city: In addition to the optical glass factory LZOS, there is a production facility of the aircraft engine manufacturer NPO Saturn , a building materials factory, light industry, a mechanical engineering design office, a research institute for aircraft engine construction and one for microelectronics.

Lytkarino is connected to the M5 main road via a country road. This highway has a macabre reputation due to the particularly high number of traffic accidents that occur on it. Another important nearby road that links to other trunk roads is the Moscow ring road MKAD . The nearest passenger station is in Lyubertsy , ten kilometers northwest of Lytkarino.
