Manor Sukhanovo was built at the endseventeenth century. Subsequently, it was donated by Peter the First N. Streshnev - to the Tsar ardent supporter. Then the estate passed into the possession of Dmitriev-Mamonov, who later married the king's niece, Praskovya Ioannovna.
Manor Sukhanovo is a classican example of natural gardens that were popular in the eighteenth century. It is remarkable in that it carefully keeps the memory of the great Russian figures, who literally changed the course of history. One of the characteristic features of the manor is the presence of a mausoleum temple, which became the last refuge of its former owners. The main part of the park is separated from the mausoleum by a massive stone bridge. This structure symbolizes the transition from one world to another. Trees hanging above the water evoke memories of the past days and make you think about the meaning of life on this earth.
In 1804, the estate Sukhanovo was inpossession of the princes Volkonsky. They were the owners of these lands for more than a century - until 1917. Many buildings were repaired and substantially altered thanks to the efforts of Elena Volkonskaya and her nephew. The latter served as chief of the General Staff of Alexander I, and during the reign of Nicholas I became the minister of the court. PM Volkonsky engaged in attracting the most prominent architects of Russia in the design of the estate.
The final formation of the architectural appearanceSukhanovo occurred at the end of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It was during this period that the manor flourished. PM Volkonsky, who served as minister of the courtyard and head of the process of building public buildings, could involve such high-class craftsmen as Charlemagne, Rossi, etc. in the construction of the estate. Unfortunately, some of the projects were not implemented, some of the buildings were not built. preserved or lost their original architectural appearance.
The 1820s were marked by the appearance of office buildings with pseudo-gothic features - battlements and turrets, and by the 1830s - guest houses in the classical style.
The park facade of the main building is decoratedsix-column portico. It offers beautiful views of the village, located on the high opposite shore. At the end of one of the shady alleys, a gazebo was installed under the romantic name “Temple of Venus”, and then you can go to the arched bridge, which is thrown over a ravine and leads to one of the most interesting places of the estate - the mausoleum. On the way to it, a bronze sculpture of a girl holding a broken jug is installed. This is a copy of the famous work of P. P. Sokolov. The original is located on the territory of Tsarskoselsky Park. Pushkin admired this sculpture. The poet expressed his delight in verse form.
This building appeared in 1813.It was built over a crypt, in which they buried the wife of E. A. Volkonskaya - Prince D. P. Volkonsky. He died from injuries sustained in the 1812 war. This is a round shape construction. The western part of the mausoleum is decorated with a strict Doric portico. Two altar-style cast-iron altars are mounted on the stairs. Initially, the structure combined a semicircular open colonnade with a bell tower and a small outhouse. Relatively recently, we managed to find the design documents of this building, which made it possible to establish the name of the architect. The author was the architect Stasov, famous for such works as the Triumphal Arch in the northern capital and Pavlovsk barracks on the Field of Mars.
Subsequently, the manor changed its appearance more than onceSukhanovo. The history of this place includes the fact of a radical change in the Volkonsky mausoleum - the finest example of the capital's empire. As a result of the alterations of 1934, the masterpiece was simply ruined.
The main house was erected at the end of the eighteenthcentury. Work on its restructuring was carried out in 1945 (the process was carried out under the guidance of architect Kokorin). Before this alteration, changes were made many times. So, at the end of the nineteenth century, columns and porticos were added, as well as galleries on the sides of the building, which ended with wings. In the forties of the same century, it was decided to close the gallery, while a residential floor was built above the right one. Once the church adjoined this building, but it was destroyed in the 1930s.
Sukhanovo Manor is still a valuable monument.domestic landscape art and architecture. Today, a rest house belonging to the Union of Architects is organized on the estate’s territory. Unfortunately, the unique object is gradually destroyed.
