Usad'ba "Gora"

The manor house of Prince Lvov is a complex of buildings dating back to the 19th century. Later, there was a school in the building of the estate, and a dining room was located next to it in a one-story building with columns. There was a stable before the dining room. This manor was surrounded by a park with a system of artificial ponds of bizarre and complex shapes. If in ancient times you and I looked at the ponds from above, we would see the inscription Lvov. This was the grandiose idea of ​​the owner of the estate. According to the stories of local residents, there was a long underground passage from the mansion, which can be readily believed, given the scale of the artistic idea and engineering implementation of this estate. At the moment the building is in poor condition and is privately owned. Only the roof has been restored and double-glazed windows have been partially inserted. With the onset of perestroika, the Gora settlement fell into decay. The school, club, public bath and pigsty were closed, as were other businesses. People lost their jobs, theft and drunkenness flourished. To my regret, the local population for the most part made a depressing impression on me. The only sane person whom I met not with a bottle of vodka in my hands, but who was engaged in business and who willingly shared valuable information with me was a former Petersburg resident, who retired here for a visit in the spring and winter period. At the moment, the Mountain is a half-abandoned settlement, but the store is still there, thank God. The paramedic point is closed, the availability of other benefits of civilization is in question. The safety of the structures around this complex is low. To the ponds, you need to wade through the former park, which has already turned into a forest, but if you look, you can also find half-overgrown paths. If you move further inland from the estate and the ponds, then along the way you can stumble upon the ruins of a former alcohol distillery, made in the style of "barns" from boulders and bricks. The date of its construction and existence is unknown to me, but according to information from local old residents, at least pre-war origin. I would very much like to hope that the new owner of the mansion will complete the reconstruction to the end and the mansion will not repeat the fate of the Stroganovs' estate. I would also like our state to pay more attention to the preservation of the cultural heritage of our country and turn its gaze not only to foreign policy, but also to the hinterland of the country. She took care of the creation of kindergartens, medical centers, libraries, etc. in rural areas.

Silence, a ball of Oriya with nature. Beautiful place. The building is still alive. I hope the new owner will get his hands on him.
