The Voivode's House in Solikamsk is the oldest stone building for civil purposes in the city and throughout the Urals. Its construction began on September 27, 1673, by order of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich after the fire of 1672 that destroyed the Solikamsk fortress. The building was completed in 1688.

Initially, the house was a single-story structure serving as an administrative house. In the early 18th century, when the staff of the office increased, a second floor was added. In the 1720s, the building began to be referred to as the Voivode's House. From the mid-18th century until 1781, it was used as the Voivode's office. After the abolition of the voivodeship in 1781, the building was acquired by salt industrialist Maxim Surovtsev. Later, it was owned by the Zyryanov merchants, and then it housed judicial officials. In the late 19th century, the house was home to a hospital, and in the early 20th century, it was used as a prison.

After the October Revolution, the building became a local history museum. During the Great Patriotic War, it housed the headquarters of an evacuation hospital and a medical supplies depot.

Today, the former Voivode's House hosts exhibitions of the local history museum and the interior of a 17th-century administrative house.

Although the Voivode's House was built as a civil object, it also had defensive significance. The walls, up to 2 meters thick, were equipped with loopholes and made of large bricks. The building has a rectangular shape, with the southern facade measuring 19 meters in length and 10 meters in width. The corridors serve as halls, connecting with staircases inside the walls. According to legend, they lead to underground passages connecting the house with the Epiphany Church, the Holy Trinity Cathedral, the bell tower, the forest, and the Usolka River.

The house is built on a steep slope descending to the river, and beneath the two main floors, there is a cellar carved into the slope, making it appear three stories tall from the river side.

The Voivode's House in Solikamsk is a monument of ancient Russian civil architecture and has influenced the development of the architectural style characteristic of the Urals and Siberia.
