Add a review about the Podvjaz'e manor

In the village of Podviazye, Bogorodsky district, 50 km from Nizhny Novgorod, there is an ancient romantic place - a gardening estate Podvyazie, or the estate of the Priklonsky-Rukavishnikovs.

A narrow, high promontory on the banks of the Oka River was the place where the majestic ensemble of architecture with the red brick manor buildings was erected . The style in which they were made is difficult to define, but it was once one of the most beautiful and wealthy Russian estates from which one can enjoy beautiful living with the description of the panorama of the bend of the river and floodplain meadows . The Priklonskiy-Rukavishnikov estate, an architectural monument of federal significance, is truly a pearl among the small surviving Nizhny Novgorod country estates of the 18-19th centuries .

Resurrection Church (1818) - oval , the water tower (80's of the 19th century) is similar to the Gothic cathedral, the river gate (late 19th century) - like small fortress towers. And finally, a private park with a beautiful lime avenue and cobblestone paved to the river (late 19th century) along the slope of the ravine

The romantic image of the Nizhny Novgorod country estate was created by elements popular in Russian construction of the second half of the 19th century taken from the western European castle architecture. Approximately two dozen buildings made by professional architects are surprisingly original.

The beginning of the history of the fortification-fortification of Podvjazy refers to the 14-15th centuries when it was a refuge of robbers on the Murom road, led by boyar children Dmitry and Nikifor Skolkovy.

In 1608 the Garter was awarded to Vasily Shuisky head of the musketeers Vladimir Onichkov, who participated in the militia of Minin and Pozharsky. The name of the garter comes from the numerous elms that grew in the village.

The Priklonskiy-Rukavishnikovs' estate, an architectural monument of federal significance, is truly a pearl among the few surviving Nizhny Novgorod country estates of the 18-19th centuries.

In the 18th century the estate became the property of the director of the Moscow University of Mikhail Vasilievich Priklonsky, noble family . The old estate was renovated, built a large manor house, wing, office and household buildings, broke a garden with apple, currant, plum and cherry and trees .And when Russia won the war with Napoleon, the Priklonskie erected in their estate an amazing and wonderful Resurrection Church with a rotunda surrounded by columns, with a dome crowned with a high spire, the ruins of which, unfortunately, can now be observed, and next to the church a belfry was built in the form of triumphal arch .

Manor of Priklonskiy-Rukavishnikovs - Garter in the Nizhny Novgorod region

1879 g . was the year of fulfillment of the dream of the whole life of the Nizhny Novgorod millionaire merchant class Sergei Mikhailovich Rukavishnikov: the estate ba Podvyaze passed into his possession .
