What was built at the kurakina dacha. After the overhaul, the Kurakina Dacha park was opened with the excavated Kozlov stream. Address and contact information

Kurakina Dacha is a historical district in the southeast of St. Petersburg, on the left bank of the Neva. The area got its name from the estate of the Kurakin princes located here. The name was preserved in the name of the city garden "Kurakina Dacha".

The first owner of the estate was Prince Boris Ivanovich Kurakin. His great-grandson Alexander Kurakin, left an orphan early, was invited to the Winter Palace for joint games and training sessions with the heir to the throne Pavel Petrovich. Kurakin was brought up together with the future emperor Paul I, who later appointed him vice-chancellor.

A. B. Kurakin participated in the conclusion of the Tilsit peace with France, and from 1809 to 1812 he was the Russian ambassador in Paris. He died on July 25, 1818 in Weimar and was buried in the church of the Mariinsky Hospital in Pavlovsk.

The country house had a winter garden on the second floor. The park was bordered by the Kozlov stream, which flowed into the Neva (the traces of the stream are still visible).

The magnificent garden and park occupied 12 acres.

In 1801, by decree of Paul I, the dacha became the property of the Department of Empress Maria Feodorovna for the residence of orphans - teenagers who worked at the Alexandrovskaya manufactory. In return, Paul I ordered Kurakin to allocate land with a village near Moscow.

In 1837, on the territory of Kurakina dacha, by order of Emperor Nicholas I, the Orphan Institute was opened at the Orphanage.

The dacha itself began to be called the Aleksandrovskaya dacha of the Nikolaev Orphan Institute. First, 100 girls of orphans of noble origin from 5 to 11 years old were brought here.

For them, the building of the former dacha of the princes Kurakin, which had fallen into disrepair, was rebuilt in the middle of the 19th century. The dilapidated building was rebuilt by the architect Ioganson. The reconstruction was completed in 1869.

Since 1918, a boarding school for workers' children has been organized on the territory of the former Orphan Institute. A significant part of the children did not have parents: some had their fathers killed in the imperialist and civil wars, while others died of hunger and disease.

This building housed 150 pupils of the Juvenile Department, divided into 15 groups. Each group had its own bedrooms and classrooms. Common were the gymnastic and recreational halls and the church in the name of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky.

It also housed an infirmary, apartments for educating ladies and rooms for female servants. On both sides of the main building there were two two-story wings.

Now in this building there is a secondary school №328 with in-depth study of the English language.

The red brick building is a former teaching building. Previously, it was connected by a gallery with the main educational building.

In a gray brick building, built according to a standard design in 1964,

the House of Children's Creativity Levoberezhny is located, in the circles of which students of educational institutions of the region are engaged.

A children's hospice was opened in 2010

Now a cap was carried out on the territory. renovation and it became very beautiful here, many young trees were planted,

nothing

the institution itself is one big solid minus

OH MY GOODNESS!!! We were at the "Kurakina Dacha" whether it was not okay, paid a visit with my husband to this institution, we had our first wedding anniversary, we decided to visit the restaurant! to go to the center lazily, near the house there is some kind of "Kurakina dacha" decided to visit ... we were met by an oriental man with a mountain accent showed the halls and allowed us to choose a table, at this the restaurant service came to an end. What immediately caught my eye: a dirty, darned tablecloth, stained plates, forks are almost all crooked, and the glass on the table is different and not rubbed like everything else .. well, we are not people or something, the restaurant is on the outskirts, and there are seats there the sea, two floors, it is difficult to see everything, although it was already necessary to bring down from there. we were approached by a girl-waiter, who could not answer a single question regarding the menu, smiling rather. we ordered a bottle of red wine and two steaks. the wine was ordered quite cheap, about a thousand re, and beef steaks for about 500 each, well, our bill was shorter, because the girl spoke poor Russian, I could not explain to her that I wanted medium-rare meat xD
the order was accepted, and then it started.
(!) the girl disappeared somewhere and after a certain period of time came back with, already with an open, bottle that I ordered, poured it into glasses, not knowing whether it was at all. further, no one looked after us, we refilled the wine (pleasant to the taste) ourselves.
(!!) brought "hot" which was barely warm, I love medium roast, but we will eat what we gave, this is the outskirts, why fool people.
(!!!) the meat was warmed up, apparently it was in the refrigerator, I know what a steak looks like when it was removed from the fire, and a piece of meat that was heated, in our case the meat is "settled", shriveled, fresh, well, in short, the outskirts. my husband ate everything, I could not eat this masterpiece.
by the end of the meal, a girl still came up, to find out how we were doing and whether we liked everything, I knocked on the stiff meat with a fork and said that it was not freshly cooked, because of this I did not really like it. we asked for a bill. the administrator came to the place of the account, who began to sort things out with me, how dare I slander a wonderful steak, which I really could not eat, but in principle, I have a holiday, hell with you, I'm ready to pay for it so as not to spoil the mood of anyone. I don’t remember the dialogue itself, but something terribly negative flowed out of him, a little more and he was ready to start a squabble with me. then the administrator walked away literally across the table, exactly the same oriental man approached him and they began to discuss something loudly laughing and poking a finger in our direction, then a huge pot-bellied chef in a greasy apron jumped up to this duet, and they continued to chatter in our language loudly, sometimes glancing in our direction, we felt so strange, awkward and at the same time scared, the feeling is as if you were walking along the beautiful European streets all day, and then you were accidentally brought into the black quarter xD

From the beginning I was angry, angry, they ruined my mood, and even I confess they scared me a little. about the shameful steak, about the wine in an open bottle, without a cork, what did they pour there? I just forgot over time, wrote off everything for a bad day, well, the stars converged so well, maybe the waiter confused what, maybe the chef messed up, maybe the administrator didn't get up. In principle, this is my problem that I did not like yesterday's meat. What did I expect from them, I had to immediately get up and leave when I saw dirty dishes and darned tablecloths. these are events of a year ago.

Actually, why am I only now writing about this? On March 7, I was again brought to this terrible place, but already on business, there is no need to eat in this hot place, as we found out. I ran in in the evening, at 10 o'clock, at the beginning of 11, literally for half an hour and witnessed how a young administrator or security guard - in a suit in a shirt and he had a badge, HIT a guest, the woman was drunk in the trash, got in the face, she was covered with obscenities. she almost stretched out on the floor, there was some kind of performance with knives in the hall, a lot of people and a lot of staff, a lot of men and everything is fine .. the woman dragged herself to her place. how is it?

In general, friends, it is better to overpay 1000-1500 rubles at your own expense, but go to a normal institution where there is a hint of service, and most importantly, there are no risks to your health. where they give you a printed invoice and a fiscal receipt, where there are licenses for ALL products and everything is done according to a dignity. norms, where you are a welcome guest who makes a profit and whose desires you need to guess and create comfort for you, and not treat like a bag of potatoes that gets tangled in your legs and dares to interfere. well, if you have a themed party and you are also a mazahist who wants to "back to the 90s", then they will bring you a piece of sole to the "kurakin dacha", and they will dance a lezginka, and if you still dare to blather something and knock out a couple of teeth. and look somewhere in the back room they will lock you up and beat you properly.

I say hello to the tax authorities, whom I noticed to the police at the entrance, the first thought came as in the 90s such establishments were "covered" and in return they were paid bribes .. well, this is how my imagination played out, also hello to all dignitaries. authorities and insurance services. and I wish the employees of "Kurakina Dacha" to become kinder and more humane to their guests, and maybe learn to love them, because this is the specifics of your work.

Kurakina dacha -

The juvenile department of the Orphan Institute of Emperor Nicholas I

Memory. arch. (region.)

st. Babushkina, 56- Obukhovskoy Oborony Ave., 193 (cond. Address)

1869 - architect. Ioganson Ivan Egorovich

Wooden Kurakina dacha.

In 1801 the dacha was acquired by the Foundling Home.

In 1817-1822 the dacha was occupied by the almshouse of the Orphanage.

In 1847, the juvenile department of the Orphan Institute of Emperor Nicholas I moved here.

In 1869, architect. IE Ioganson is building a new stone building.

At the end of the 1770s. here was the dacha of Alexander Borisovich Kurakin, elected in 1778 as the provincial leader of the nobility. In 1801 he sold the estate with an area of ​​12 acres to the treasury.

An almshouse was set up here, for which arch. D. Kvadri built a two-storey stone building, and then a summer cottage for the children of the Orphanage.

Since 1837, the dacha has become a department of the Nikolaev Orphanage Institute for young children. In this regard, new buildings were required. In 1845-1848. outbuildings were built on the sides of the stone house, which housed kitchens, bakeries, laundries, a pharmacy, and apartments for employees. Also, separate houses for the boss were erected for the hospital.

In the 1868-1870s. the stone building was completely rebuilt and enlarged according to the project of architect. I.E. Ioganson. The new U-shaped building stretches for a hundred meters. It contained classrooms and bedrooms, employees' apartments, gymnastics and recreation halls, an infirmary, in the right wing - church of st. blessed prince Alexander Nevsky.

For summer recreation of the pupils, on the site of the dilapidated Kurakino buildings, an extended one-story wooden building was erected, divided in half by a stone hall. Wooden services were built on the bank of the stream: stables, barracks, a cowshed, a kennel, a gardener's house; lit hotbeds and greenhouses, set up vegetable gardens.

After redevelopment by the garden master Joachim Alwardt in 1858, a shady garden was formed.

In 1869, Kurakina's dacha was renamed into Aleksandrovskaya.

Next to the Kurakina dacha was the Vyazemsky estate. Elizaveta Petrovna granted the Kaikuki village with a large forest area to the Prosecutor General Prince N. Yu. Trubetskoy. The estate went into a dowry to his daughter Elena Nikitichna, who married Prince A.A. Vyazemsky. Vyazemsky created a luxurious estate on the site of the village. A tannery, winery, sugar factories and a Dutch windmill operated at the estate.

After the death of Vyazemsky, the estate went to the treasury, and Paul I ordered the founding of a manufactory there, which later received the name of Alexandrovskaya, transferred to the jurisdiction of the Orphanage, which was part of the institutions of Empress Maria Feodorovna. The backbone of the workers was made up of orphans-fosterlings. Stone buildings were built for workers, educators, officials, disabled guards, an infirmary and technical facilities: a paper spinning mill, a flax spinning mill, a hosiery, a dye shop, a canvas workshop, a tannery and a mechanical workshop, and a card factory. This multifunctional complex has become a large industrial enterprise.

For the workers of the manufactory, a church was built near the Shlisselburg tract, a little further than the Trinity Church. The temple was built on the initiative of Empress Maria Feodorovna, who wished to dedicate it to her husband's memory.

After the peasant reform of 1861, the manufactory lost its free labor, and in 1863 most of the territory was given up for the creation of a steel mill. (Obukhovsky).

After the war, boarding school N 10 was located here.

The building of the department of the Orphan Institute was rebuilt in stone in 1869 by architect. IE Ioganson, then a church wing appeared, until 1869 the department did not have a church. Sweat gave money for the organization of the church. och. citizen Grigory Galov, and on November 2, 1869 it was consecrated by Bishop Pavel of Ladoga in the presence of Prince P.G. Oldenburgsky. The facade of the church was decorated with a large recessed cross and completed with a stepped pediment. The church was located on the 2nd floor next to the recreation hall and was separated from it by a sliding partition. Its decoration was modest: even 4 icons in a single-tier white and gold iconostasis were colored lithographs. The altarpiece "Savior Blessing Children" by artist K. L. Peterson copied from the work of Acad. T.A. Neffa. Initially, the building housed 100 children, and after the reconstruction - 150 children. From 1909 until it was closed on March 1, 1918, Fr. Nikolay Nikolaevich Vasiliev.

The building is included in the Unified State Register of Cultural Heritage Objects (Historical and Cultural Monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation as an object of cultural heritage of regional significance.

Kurakina dacha November 14th, 2012

The previous time I wrote about the Leningrad River Station. It was adjacent to a very pleasant park called Kurakina Dacha. Taking a look at the ruins of the station, I ran a small crossover with a camera in my hands around the neighborhood.
In the first ten days of November this year there were some completely abnormal sunny days. And so, despite the absence of leaves and the presence of dirt, the photos are bright.

The city of Petersburg is so huge that its different new districts are like different cities for me. And my attitude towards different areas is completely different. I like the south and southwest of the city. Probably because I grew up and live here. I really don't like the cheerful village and Rzhevka-Powder. Huge spaces between terrible new buildings, a piercing wind between them, and gopniks wander around the courtyards. These are some of my associations. From the northern districts, I only like the Citizen in the Sosnovka Park area. And when I find myself in the area of ​​Dolgoye Lake and the Commandantsky airfield, I have a persistent feeling that I am no longer in my hometown, but in some completely different place. Either on the outskirts of Moscow, or in Cherepovets.

I never liked the area of ​​the Lomonosovskaya metro station - Proletarskaya. It's somehow uncomfortable here. The only pleasant place was the River Station and the surrounding park.

Kurakina dacha is called so because these lands were once owned by the princes of Kurakin. The Kurakins are an old Lithuanian family, from the Gediminovichi. They served the Moscow tsars for many years. According to information from the Internet, the last of the Kurakin family, princes Alexander and his son Dmitry, live, as befits real Russian princes, in France.

The Kurakins owned these lands in the 18th century. They were acquired by Prince Boris Alexandrovich Kurakin. The princes Kurakin were one of the richest people of their time and one of the largest landowners in Russia. A park was laid out here, a manor house and other buildings were built, all of this has not survived to our time. The sons of Boris Alexandrovich, Alexander and Alexei, became prominent political figures of their era. Prince Alexander Borisovich was brought up together with the young heir to the throne Pavel Petrovich and was friends with him. In the last years of the reign of Catherine II, in connection with this friendship, he fell into disgrace and was exiled from St. Petersburg to one of the many estates of his family in the Saratov province. After the death of the mother of Emperor Paul, the career of the Kurakin brothers took off. Alexander was vice-chancellor, then ambassador to Vienna and Paris. And Alexey rose to the rank of governor of Little Russia.
However, it seems that during this period they were not up to "Kurakina Dacha", and in 1801 they sold it to the treasury. In the 19th century, the Nikolaev Orphan Institute was located here. And after the revolution, the house of pioneers and a botanical garden.

In the southern corner of the park there are several buildings that are indirectly related to this story. The wooden building of the hospital of the Nikolaev Institute survived the war and burned down only in 2007. Arson was suspected. This is what the building looked like in its last years:

However, no elite housing was built here. Moreover, a stone building was built - a "replica" of the old wooden one. And for the sake of authenticity, they lined it with clapboard. The institution here is extremely unhappy; it is now a children's hospice.

Honestly, when I read the sign about what exactly is located in this well-kept and renovated building, my mood soured and the place no longer seemed cute to me.

The main building of the former orphanage is now occupied by secondary school # 328.

The building is in excellent condition, everything just shines.

Around the park alleys are tiled.

Between the hospice and the school is a typical post-war brick building of a pioneer house.
We have the same house of pioneers in the Moscow region.

Kurakina Dacha Park is located in a lowland, and most of it was flooded with water in November.
You can't even always make out where the pond really is,

and where is the land flooded with water:

To the north, the park continues to the Volodarsky Bridge.

On the edge of the park there is a monument to that very Volodarsky. The monument is completely invisible from the bridge, and to my shame I did not have the slightest idea of ​​its existence.

Moreover, I didn't even know exactly who Comrade Volodarsky was. It is clear that some kind of "revolutionary leader". And only Wikipedia told me that this was a very curious character. His real name is Moisey Markovich Goldstein, at the age of 14 he joined the Jewish radical socialist party "Bund". Subsequently he became a Bolshevik. In 18 he was shot dead when he was on his way to another rally at the Obukhov plant. The murdered Volodarsky was buried on the Field of Mars. And in general he became one of the hero-martyrs of the October Revolution. One of the versions of his biography can be read here.
