The estate of the Mosolovs in the village of Dubna. Report on the second day of the online tour of the estates of the Tula region

April 14th, 2010

Today we are walking Myasnitskaya .

Myasnitskaya is one of the oldest streets in Moscow. The name of the 17th century is given by the name of the Myasnitskaya Sloboda, where there were many butcher shops and butchers' houses.
In the late 17th - early 18th centuries, the meat trade was forced out to Zemlyanoy Val, and then the trade itself was destroyed, but the name Myasnitskaya remained outside the street.
Under Peter I, Myasnitskaya became the road between the Kremlin and the German settlement, along which the tsar constantly traveled. Nobles and a new aristocracy headed by Prince Menshikov began to settle on the street.
Dvoryanskaya Street remained in the 19th century.
I went to Myasnitskaya at Myasnitsky passage. In the center - a skyscraper on Red Gate Square:

Somewhere on the Internet, I read that once (at the end of the 18th century) this house (now - number 46) was owned by sister A.V. Suvorov:

How long have you seen this in Moscow? Empty streets, no cars parked. These are not miracles, this is Sunday morning:

Somewhere behind the pink house on the right, until 1928, there was the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Myasniki:

We have reached Maly Kharitonievsky Lane . Then I saw an interesting building and turned into an alley.

The name of the 19th century is given by the church "Kharitoniya the Confessor in Ogorodnaya Sloboda" (built in the 17th century, demolished in 1935), which was repeatedly visited by Pushkin A.S. and mentioned by him in "Eugene Onegin" - "At Kharitony in the Lane":

An interesting building turned out to be the former house of the Polytechnic Society, 1904-06:

We are again at Myasnitskaya. House-estate of Baryshnikov (1793-1802). Now in this building is the editorial office of "Arguments and Facts":

Chambers of the 17th century:

Let's look back:

Profitable house of A.P. Langovoy, 1905:

To our left - Gusyatnikov lane.
Named after the owner of the late 18th century. "eminent citizen" merchant Pyotr Mikhailovich Gusyatnikov, who owned at the end of the 18th century. house at Gusyatnikov per., 2 / Myasnitskaya st., 30 (in the photo - on the right). The house on Myasnitskaya Street, acquired by the Gusyatnikovs in the second half of the 17th century, housed the main office of the Gusyatnikovs trading company. The house survived, but was rebuilt in the 19th century. The name of the lane is a memory of the Gusyatnikov family, which is associated with many historical and cultural events in Russia:

In my opinion, this is the courtyard of house number 4:

An arch is visible on the wall on the left, some kind of “break gate” J:

House on the corner of Gusyatnikov Lane with Ogorodnaya Sloboda Lane.
The lane is named after the palace Ogorodnaya Sloboda (Ogorodniki), in the center of which it was located. In the 16-17 centuries. Ogorodnaya Sloboda was limited to modern Myasnitskaya, Pokrovka and Sadovaya-Chernogryazskaya streets. Judging by the name of the last street, the area belonged to the "chernozem zone".

The house, as I understand it, was profitable:

Entrance door:

Let's return to Myasnitskaya.

In the place where the trading pavilions now stand, on the right near the Chistye Prudy metro station, the Church of St. Frol and Laurus once stood, demolished in 1935:

Further along this side of the street stood (and fortunately still stands) Yushkov's house. The house housed the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, now the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Built at the turn of the 1780s - 1790s.

To the left on the other side of the street is the building of the former Moscow Imperial Post Office and Telegraph, early 18th-early 20th centuries. (now the European-Asian exchange):

One of the most fabulous houses in Moscow is the Tea House of S. V. Perlov. Built in 1890:

Green house with a large arch - House of Kuznetsov I.E., 1910
I. E. Kuznetsov traded in porcelain, faience, crystal and glassware. It also housed offices and shops: "Bogatyr Joint-Stock Company of Rubber Products", "Moscow People's Bank", "Technical Office K. Tolkh".

Profitable house H.D. Spiridonova, 1898:

Commercial premises S.V. Davydova, early 20th century:

Let's look back:

Goes left Bolshoy Zlatoustinsky Lane. The name originated in the 18th century; given according to the Zlatoust (in honor of John Chrysostom) monastery, known from documents since 1412 (destroyed in 1933).

View of the Zlatoust Monastery in Moscow, 1860. Published by A.P. Rudnev. According to the drawing by A. Ferrari. Lithography:

We return to Myasnitskaya:

The trading house of the partnership of M. S. Kuznetsov, a famous porcelain magnate, namesake of I. E. Kuznetsov, whose house we have already seen before along this street. Built in 1898-1903:

House of Saltykov-Chertkov:

On the left - the House of the Moscow Ecclesiastical Consistory (I will talk about it below), on the right - the trading house of G. A. Koeppen with offices and shops in 1908:

Profitable house with a store by N. D. Stakheev, now the Biblio-Globus store, 1897:

And we go out Lubyanka.
The name of the 15th century was given in honor of Lubyanitsy - a district of Novgorod.

“In the nineties of the last century, wealthy insurance companies, whose cash desks were full of money, found it profitable to turn their huge capital into real estate and began to buy up land in Moscow and build tenement houses on them. And now, on Lubyanka Square, between Bolshaya and Malaya Lubyanka, a huge house has grown. This is the house of the Rossiya insurance company, built on the property of N.S. Mosolov:

It is difficult to recognize this house now:

In the eighties, N.S. Mosolov, a wealthy landowner, academician, famous engraver and collector of rare engravings, occupied a separate building here, on the lower floor of which the Warsaw insurance company was located; in the other wing of this building, adjacent to Mosolov's apartment, there was a photograph of Möbius. Mosolov lived alone in his huge apartment, had servants from his former serfs. He usually spent six months abroad, and the other six months in Moscow, hosting almost no one. From time to time he left the house on business in an expensive old carriage, on a pair of fine horses, with his former serf coachman, whose name no one knew, but everyone called him "Noodles".

Opposite Mosolov's house on Lubyanka Square was an exchange of hired carriages. When Mosolov sold his house to the Rossiya insurance company, he gave the carriage and horses to his coachman, and Noodles went up on the stock exchange. An excellent harness gave him the opportunity to earn good money: driving with "Noodles" was considered chic.

Mosolov died in 1914. He donated to the museum a precious collection of engravings and etchings, both by his own work and by foreign artists."

“Earlier, Lubyanskaya Square also replaced the cab yard: between Mosolov’s house and the fountain there was an exchange of cabs, between the fountain and Shipov’s house there was an exchange of draymen, and along the entire sidewalk from Myasnitskaya to Bolshaya Lubyanka there was a continuous line of cab drivers jostling around horses. In those days, cab drivers were not required to sit on the goats. The horses stand with their sacks on, unbridled, and feed.

On the pavement along the sidewalk line - scraps of hay and sewage streams.

Horses feed without a guard, flocks of pigeons and sparrows rush about underfoot, and cabbies drink tea in a tavern. The driver, leaving the tavern, draws water directly from the pool with a dirty bucket and waters the horse, and around the pool there is a string of water carriers with barrels.

They drive up eight barrels at a time, stand around the pool and, with long-handled bucket scoops, draw water from the pool and pour barrels, and the whole square is buzzing with curses from early morning until late at night ... "

“On the corner of Myasnitskaya, there are “Butcher” furnished rooms, occupied by passing merchants and commission agents with samples of goods. The house where they are placed was built by Malyushin on land leased from the Consistory.

Consistory! A word now incomprehensible to most readers.
The devil fell into the seine and cried out in fright:
- Am I in the Consistory?!

There was a saying that characterized this institution.
And it was a local church administration of large spiritual ranks - the council, and minor officials, who were led by the secretary - the main force that influenced the council. The secretary is everything. Officials received a penny salary and existed solely by bribes. This was done quite openly. Rural priests brought cartloads of bribes, in the form of flour and living creatures, to officials' apartments, while Moscow ones paid in cash. The Consistory owned a large piece of land along Myasnitskaya - from Furkasovsky Lane to Lubyanka Square. She was housed in a two-story barracks-type building, and she had a large garden with her.

The only church in Moscow of the Grebnev Icon before the revolution stood on the corner of Myasnitskaya Street and Lubyanskaya Square, built to commemorate the conquest of Veliky Novgorod. According to scientists, the history of Myasnitskaya Street began with its construction in the second half of the 15th century.
View of the beginning of Myasnitskaya from Lubyanskaya Square. On the left side of the street - the houses that belonged to the Consistory, on the right - the Church of the Grebnev Icon:

View of the beginning of Myasnitskaya today:

“Somehow, back in serf times, a wooden booth appeared on Lubyanka Square with a simple menagerie and a huge elephant, which attracted mainly the public. Suddenly, in the spring, the elephant went berserk, tore the logs to which he was chained from the wall, and began to sweep the booth. The elephant, annoyed by the cries of the crowd, tried to break free, but he was held by the logs to which he was chained. The elephant had already managed to knock down one log and rushed into the crowd, but by this time the police had brought a company of soldiers, who killed the giant with several volleys.
Now the Polytechnic Museum stands on this site”:

Before us - New area. It was formed in the 16th century on the inner side of the wall of Kitay-Gorod and was in fact a street that had only one-sided buildings. In the 1820s, the name Novaya Square was established behind the square, and its continuation (from Ilyinsky Gate Square to Varvarsky Gate Square) became known as Staraya Square.

Push market on New Square at the end of the 19th century:

We will stop here for today, but we say goodbye for a while, we will continue soon!

Original taken from ser_rubtsov to the House of Mosolovs

Along with the Demidovs, one of the important places in the development of our metallurgy is associated with another surname - the Mosolovs, who built their iron-smelting plant on the Dubna River in the Tula Region. The Dubno plant, as often happens with enterprises built in an "open field", became a city-forming plant, and the current village of Dubna arose around it.

In 1828, Pyotr Mosolov built a country estate opposite the plant on the bank of the pond, with a three-story brick and wood main house with four front facades.

The house was beautifully decorated from the front, its decoration was complemented by a veranda and cast iron elements: columns with vines and clusters, intricate brackets and a front staircase with leaves and flowers of grapes. Some historically valuable architectural elements have survived in the house to this day: a cast-iron staircase, wooden carvings on the facade of the building, columns in the hall.

In 1912, the Mosolovs sold their house and enterprise in Dubna to the wealthy peasant brothers Baranov and Kuritsyn, and with the approach of the revolution, they emigrated abroad. In our time, 17 families live in the Mosolovs' house in Dubna, which are going to be resettled soon, and the estate itself was planned to be restored.

Also, a museum of Russian metallurgy should appear here, improve the park and clean the pond. True, all this was the initiative of the already former governor of the Tula region, Gruzdev, who planned to actively develop tourist destinations in the region, what awaits the estate now is not completely clear.

Manor Pyatnitskoe

How can I briefly describe my impressions of my acquaintance with the Pyatnitskoye estate? Perhaps, that's the name of the stop near the local village - Obidimo.
That's right - "Offended" from the fact that this beauty is in such a monstrous state.

So, a little historical background. The Pyatnitskoye estate has been known since the last quarter of the 18th century. The most famous owners of this estate were representatives of the Alexandrov family. Once the village of Pyatnitskoye was considered a fairly prosperous settlement. It was located near the busy Aleksinsky tract.

Troubles in the Alexandrov estate, as usual, began after the revolution. The estate was nationalized and a commune was opened in it, and then an orphanage.

The first landmark that suffered during the Soviet era was the Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior, built in 1835. A hundred years later, it was simply dismantled into bricks. The small fragment shown in the photo is all that remains of the temple.

On the territory adjacent to the church, you need to walk very carefully. You can gape and fall into the crypt - in the truest sense of the word.

And this impersonal building, sheathed with siding, is the former main manor house. The upper wooden part burned down in 2010.

The majestic stone building in front of us, according to official sources of local lore, is the manager's house. Although, many locals confidently call it a carriage house. Why such uncertainty arises, I will try to find out when I write a full-fledged post about the Pyatnitskoye estate.

In general, Pyatnitskoe strikes with the number of buildings that were once part of the estate complex. Local historians say that there are more of them here than in Yasnaya Polyana. Year of construction - 1867.

Outbuildings and human buildings have come down to us in varying degrees of safety.

A well-fed cat walks around Pyatnitskoye in a businesslike way. Perhaps he is the most life-affirming thing that could be seen here today.

We believe that Pyatnitskoye has great potential and, if desired, it can be restored.

Manor Voskresenskoye - many-sided neoclassicism

The Voskresenskoye estate delights at first sight, even though it meets any traveler in desolation.

"Romantic Ruins" is one hundred percent about her.

At different times, Voskresenskoye belonged to representatives of different families. Both Khitrovo and the Urusovs possessed it. However, people remember it as the estate of the Maltsovs - the members of this family really owned the estate for a long time and brought the most significant changes to its appearance.

The main house of this estate, built in the stylistic forms of neoclassicism, impresses with its beauty and scale. But, at the same time, it is very similar to several other Russian estates. At first glance, I noted that the mansion in Voskresensky reminds me of both the Moscow region and and.

The mansion is very rich in decor both outside and inside. Part of this decoration has survived to this day. But, in general, the condition of the house can be assessed as quite good - in comparison with other estates, and emergency - from the point of view of obvious technical facts.

The estate is surrounded by a linden park. It is also partially preserved. Some manor buildings have survived to this day: an outbuilding and outbuildings.


At the Voskresenskoye estate in 1825, a homestead church was built in the name of the Resurrection of the Lord. It suffered greatly in the Soviet years, but now it is slowly being restored through the efforts of believers.

Before the revolution, the Voskresenskoye estate was famous for its economic power. Its owners were very competent in agriculture and managed their own assets.

After 1917, the manor house was used for various purposes for some time: local government institutions, a school and an orphanage were located here. Educational institutions were located here in our time. Until 2008, a comprehensive school was located on the first floor of the mansion, and a music school was located on the second. After the local authorities decided to build a new building for schools, the former estate was empty. A year later, a fire broke out in it, the consequences of which we can observe to this day.

Now the estate is in ruins. However, it will be a real find for any investor or philanthropist! The state of the estate, as I have already noted, is very good.

Manor Dubna (Mosolovs) - cast-iron durability of wood

The Tula region has its own Dubna. This urban-type settlement became famous throughout Russia thanks to the Dubna iron foundry, which was founded in the first half of the 19th century by industrialist Pyotr Ivanovich Mosolov.

It is symbolic that the main attraction of this village is the Mosolovs' estate, miraculously preserved in good condition.

This mansion, which is about to turn 200 years old, is more than half built of wood. Stone is only the first floor of the manor house. The fact that it did not burn down and was not destroyed is nothing but an exception to their sad general rule.

Before the revolution, the Mosolovs' estate was truly huge. Local historians note that there were as many as three houses intended for the residence of gentlemen. But now only one mansion has been preserved - this wooden unique one.

The complex of estate buildings also included household services, housing for servants and workers of the plant, and small enterprises that ensured the economic power of the estate, in addition to the plant itself.

And, of course, the Mosolovsky house was surrounded by a beautiful park. Now it is only partially preserved.
Let's go inside the house. There is something to see here! Inside, we will find skillfully made cast-iron elements of the stairs, which were produced at the Mosolov factory. Before the revolution, cast-iron elements were present in many elements of the decoration of the front rooms.

The Mosolovs' estate managed to "survive" to this day only due to the fact that its main house was turned into a residential one. She even survived a cast-iron plant, which went bankrupt and stopped its work. Many Dubna residents will be happy to tell everyone how their family members lived here and visited their friends.

In our time, the fate of a unique house is seriously thought about. Residents of the village, who lived in an old house, but dilapidated housing, were settled in new apartments. The estate is temporarily empty. But here they are already working with investors and in the future they really want to open the House-Museum of Russian Blast Furnace Metallurgy.

Manor Krasino-Uberezhnoye - rebirth

During this two-day trip, we came across only those estates that are in varying degrees of abandonment. Acquaintance with those who will give them a new life at the moment is a matter of the future.

To complete this journey with a positive touch, we went to the Krasino-Uberezhnoye estate. A few years ago, it was restored by an investor, entrepreneur Alexander Foatovich Sitnikov.

This ancient estate was founded in the middle of the 18th century by Nikita Yakovlevich Kireevsky.

Subsequently, the estate changed owners several times. One of the last owners of the estate were representatives of the noble family of Trubetskoy.

In the Soviet years, the house, park, temple and outbuildings were very dilapidated.
However, a miracle happened. The main house of the Krasino-Uberezhnoye estate was recreated in a wave. Alexander Sitnikov is carrying out large-scale work on the improvement of the local park. Ahead of him is the work of restoring the Church of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity.

We hope that very soon the fate of the Krasino-Uberezhnoye estate will befall all the estates of the Tula region that have become participants in our tour.

On this positive note, I am completing a two-day online broadcast from a trip to the estates of the Tula region! See you soon!
