The main sights of Voskresensk are Krivyakino manor located within the city, and the Spasskoye manor, which is near Voskresensk. Krivyakino manor was constructed in 1769 — 1788. In the middle of the 20th century the building of the estate, as well as all its territory, underwent substantial transformation. Only the main house (1760s) and park with three lakes have been remained. There is a city museum in a wing of the manor.
The Spasskoye manor was built in the second half of the 18th century. The building of the estate was completely remade by one of its owners in 1871; planning of the building and adjacent park have been remained only. The shelter for orphans was in the mansion during the Great Patriotic War. In 1961 the main building of the estate, except basement levels, burned down. Now children's camp is located in the territory of the estate.
