Beautiful and pretty abandoned old mansion of the architect Vegener in the Mordrevinsky Park, almost at the end of the current street of Sverdlov in Yalta on the territory of the sanatorium of the Ministry of Defense, the Corps of Sanatorium No. 11.
This is a very original building for more than a hundred years ago a famous St. Petersburg architect Oscar Emilevich Vegener - Head of the Construction of the Alexander III Palace in Massandra, Palace of Count Mordvinov in Yalta, author of the Metropol Hotel and other Yalta buildings.
A small building is surprised by two preserved white marriage sculptures that can decorate a real palace. Pretty rare decoration in the Yalta architecture. On the facade, the architect placed his two monograms, with the German letters "O" and "W". The balcony was decorated with a metal coat of arms with a triangle, circulation, line and transport. Facilities Window Openers in the form of locking wells. Looking at the facade you can make sure that the architect had a certain sense of humor: the human head is visible in architectural details.
As far as the mansion is, it is so launched, although it is a clear historical and architectural value. After the events of 1917, the building was transferred under housing to several families, which produced a number of rebuildings in it. However, even despite this, in general, the former estate of Vegener retained its former appearance of both outside and inside: vintage window frames, up to valves, doors, parquet, wooden panels, ceilings with beams from noble tree breeds, fireplaces , tile, wood carving and stone, etc.

Palaces in Yalta itself are usually unknown. Of course, it is impossible to call these beautiful architectural structures - historians, architects and ... Realtors are known - since these buildings are put up for sale, but the usual prices for these objects are so fantastic that they rarely find their customers.
That surprised in many of these houses-palaces, built by famous (and not very) architects, is their location.
In the ancient cities, mansions are usually located along the rivers, but Yalta surprises that only the Soviet five-story buildings see the same derequishes, and in order to find something more beautiful, you need to get up to the mountains ...
And then I remembered the report, read last year at the conference, here in Yalta. It described that the first marine minister of Russia, Vice-Admiral and Count Nikolai Mordvinov, was still Samodur, and he believed, "once I was given this land, then I will not give it to anyone." The whole territory from the current bus station to Lenin's monument belonged to him. It was planted with gardens and exotic trees, but, despite the requests of the Yalta "City Hall" to highlight the Earth at least under the road, the graph responded with refusal. So instead of the old road near the river build new ones, at high altitude, along the hills surrounding the city by the sea.
So the postal street (Sverdlova) appeared on which they went to the city, it became popular, and new mansions appeared here, now mainly related to the Ministry of Defense. One of them - House of architect Vegener - Beautiful, although rather abandoned mansion above the Morderovsky Park, almost at the end of the current street of Sverdlov.

Unusually here and glass windows. A mansion that has obvious historical and architectural value is now very launched, families live in it, which in several windows have installed double-glazed windows than was energized an old view of the mansion. But even despite this, in general, vintage window frames, doors, parquet, wooden panels, fireplaces and tiles are preserved in the former estate of Vegener.

What surprises: Yalta, as if they do not notice, in which beautiful houses surrounded by wonderful parks, they live. Here is another house - knyagini Knyagini mansion "Uch-Cham" (three pines), on the same street of Sverdlov.

The building until 1918 belonged to Princess. And it was built at the end of the XIX century. Although the surname of the architect is unknown, but in terms of construction, according to her style and materials, it is assumed that the Knyagini Knyagini mansion built the same architect Vegener.
Maria Baryatinskaya was well known to Yaltians for her charitable and social activities, she devoted to help with patients and need. In the winter of 1918, she was arrested and spent several weeks in conclusion. In 1920, she forever left the Crimea and died in America in 1937. The princess mansion was used for military sanatoriums, and in 1951 he was restored and reconstructed. Just recently, it became known that a certain owner acquired him and organized a hotel here.

Not wanting to build their gardens below, and the Count Morderov himself built his palace in the area. He was erected in the spirit of rebirth and resembles the classic Mediterranean villas.
And the land of Nikolai Semenovich Mordvinov received in 1794 from Empress Ekaterina II "for the zealous ministry of Fatherland." He called the estate "good waste", its construction was launched in 1898 on the project of the St. Petersburg architect F. Vote. And the work of the work carried out all the same architect Vegener.
And the palace himself appeared here in 1901 - 1903, already at the great-grandfather, Alexandra Alexandrovich II. In 1927, the house of Mordvinov became the home of rest of the Nar Committee of Naval Affairs and also moved to the department of the USSR Ministry of Defense.
It is reported that at the end of 2010, this Palace of Mordvinov was put up for sale, and this object is believed to be the most expensive real estate selling in the Crimea - they want more than $ 22 million for him ...
And Yalta began to be a very small village of a dozen houses in the area of \u200b\u200bthe monument Lenin - it was the so-called "Greek Slobodka", and many of the current areas of the city were distant villages - Ai-Vasil, Outcay, Derekoy, etc. Here is the famous and visible All Party temple of John Zlatousta.
But above, on the mountain, - less known Church of St. Nicholas Wonderworkerwhich was built in 1916 on the project of architect Maximov for the "Alexandrian Sanatorium for Fleet Equities." The temple was built in ancient Russian (Byzantine) style. Such a "two-storey" temple is the Vladimir Cathedral on Chersonese. In the church for a long time there was a collection of ancient Russian icons.

If in the center of Yalta, on the embankment, the palaces are not visible, it is worth entering small courtyards - and you can find beautiful vintage buildings. In one of them, in the former hospital of Dr. S. N. Vasilyev, is now located yalta Center for Children and Youth Creativity.
The building was not repaired for a long time, His, on the stories of Yaltians, all the time someone wanted to take away from children, but it is used in its intended purpose. The mansion is crowned two griffin - these symbols of the Crimea, "strong, like lions, and free, like eagles."
Another famous city building by the sea - palace Emir Bukharasky, former, by the way, "Honorary Citizen Yalta." Emir had two palaces here, and in the first and in the second they will not really go to the second (the first is still under the jurisdiction of the Black Sea Fleet, although attempts are made to make it a historic-architectural object).
The second (Cottage of Emir) is located on the territory of the sanatorium "Uzbekistan" and is considered the property of this Central Asian republic. Two buildings associated a very long and winding road, which was worn in the royal times the name of the street of the same Emir of Bukhara. (Now Shcherbaka Street). The description of the Lower Palace is available in many resources, and very little knows about the country of Emir.
The building is built in eastern tones. It is surrounded by a beautiful park area consisting of vintage and huge cypresses, palm trees, mammoth trees. Currently, the territory of the sanatorium is declared a monument to garden-park art and is protected by the state. From the same cottage, the sad events in the life of Yalta were connected - here the white officers were tried here, after which he was led to the shooting in the mountains over Yalta, to the Dacha of Frolova Bagreyev, in the place, which is notorious today as "Bagrega".

PART ONE
As joining
By the beginning of the twentieth century Yalta from the Greek Fisherman, she was in the first half of the XIX century, turned into a real Russian rivier. Here, among the picturesque landscape of the mountain ridge, there was a villa to have a prestige, and, of course, only very rich people could afford to afford such a luxury, who did not bother either a dear project or a rich decoration. On the green mountain slopes under the guidance of the best architects, estate of incredible beauty were erected. Eastern motives presented by "ethnic modern *" and pseudo-morritian style were particularly popular here. To a lesser extent, a neo-shared style was in demand, as such an ar-nouveau, classic and baroque.
Considering the remains of the estates, most of which are in a terrifying state, surprises the virtuoso work of stone masters and wood. It is pleasing to the wonderful architectural and artistic solutions (you realize that it is hardly possible to restore these unique monuments today, because there are no masters able to repeat the thin manual work, but if there is, it will cost that will be huge tools.)
Infinitely pegs the indifference of the Yaltians themselves, and the city authorities to the invaluable destroyed architectural monuments, and inaction to that incredible deformity, which is being built today.

The Embankment of Yalta is perhaps the main attraction of the pearl of the southern coast of Crimea. She acquired his own modern look in 1955, when her restoration was launched on the project of the famous Crimean architect I. Tatiyev: the coast was strengthened, the pedestrian zones were asphalt, basalt and cast-iron fences were installed, the original lights are mounted.
View of the embankment from the Polykurov hill
The embankment of V.I. Lenin is opened, with the statue of the same name in the center, the works of P. Yacino, A.Fomin. And although Vladimir Ilyich came out not badly, his coat looks quite ridiculous in the summer sun ... The Building of the Yalta Public Committee of the CPSU (in the background) is the work of the already mentioned architect Irakli Tatiyev, who took the blood of the Bloody from the "persisters of architectural excesses" a portico and 12 columns. 
The Yalta embankment is illuminated by beautiful Stalinist-empire lanterns made of milk glass, painted antimony oxide. This magnitude as nothing else emphasizes the patheauxity of the main street of the resort town. 
In the price of the embankment in the sea, there is a wave of breaking over which the restaurant "Golden Fleece". The idea of \u200b\u200bGreek galleys is not very bad, and is organically linked to the legend of Toponym Yalta (exhausted by storm and long journey of the Greeks, seeing the long-awaited shore crisp: Yulos! Julos! What meant shore. However, this legend is false, for in ancient Greek the word "Yulos "I did not exist. And the city was most likely called the name on behalf of the Turkic commander of Jalita). But the execution of this idea from cheap oil and diode hoses, obviously does not correspond to the pathoscope of the place, and the prices requested in the institution.
We are not very bad and these edelweiss umbrellas installed in the 60s. They look particularly beautiful at night, in the lower backlight set during the "October" restoration of the 2002 embankment. 
View of the embankment after the ambitious restoration of 2002. 
During this restoration, the embankment was removed by plates from red and gray granite. The facades of buildings were renovated, landscaping, and small architectural forms were installed. It was also planned to ban all the remote trade, though it could not work until the end, and in the season the embankment fits on the eastern spontaneous market.
On September 26, 2009, Metropolitan Simferopolsky and Crimean Lazarus consecrated the chapel in honor of the Cathedral of Novomartvikov and Russian confessors, which was also rebuilt during the General Restoration of the Embankment. 
The first, wooden chapel near this place was erected on August 15, 1881 in memory of the Russian Emperor Alexander II ,. In the initial version, the chapel was on wooden stamps, but then a stone foundation was tested due to repeated destruction by marine surroundings. 
The fate of the chapel on the embankment has developed dramatic. Having stood on the embankment more than half a century, in 1932 it was closed, and then disassembled "as unnecessary."
Villa "Sofia" 
Villa "Sofia". Around this building of the revenue house built on the project N.P. Krasnov in 1897, at one time a scandal was played. Yaltians were extremely outraged by the fact of buying a destroyed and allotted building (in which the polyclinic was located) by the unsteady singer Sophia Rotaru, whose personal funds were restored, and today acts as a luxury hotel.
Before the main entrance to the villa there is a terrifying composition on the motifs of Chekhov's "ladies with a dog", consisting of a log-like woman, an amorphous dog, and men with chicken fences.
Composition, execution axes and plastic This small architectural form can kill in blue whale.
For most idle walking along the embankment, it ends with a four-star hotel "Oreanda", which is located not far from the place of sign in the sea of \u200b\u200bthe river Study-Su. Built in 1907, the hotel was immediately recognized as one of the best Yalta County.
In 1918, in the period of revolutionary events in Yalta, the hotel was used under the shelter and the defensive point of the Crimean opponents of the Bolshevik government. After establishing Soviet power in the Crimea, the hotel building was nationalized, but used in its intended purpose. In the Directory-Guide "Crimea" advertised Hotel "Oreanda" in Yalta, 50 rooms from two to ten rubles per day. At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War (1941), a military hospital was located in the hotel. In the post-war period, the Oreanda Hotel was transformed into a sanatorium, where soldiers and officers continued to be treated during the war. In the late 1950s, after the overhaul, "Oreanda" again acquired the status of the hotel.
In the early 1970s, it was decided to reconstruct the hotel, with the condition of complete preservation of historical appearance. The second reconstruction was undertaken in 2001.
There are a lot of wonderful buildings in themselves and gateway embankment.
For example, this economic room is loved by carved wooden cornices.
In general, the South Coast manor architecture is not conceivable without carved wooden parts. Surprises that virtuosity with which openwork facades are made. Unfortunately, most of them are in an emergency and disgraced state.
Especially perfect with its magnificent carving Museum of Lesia Ukrainka, opened in 1991 by the Day of the 120th anniversary of the poetess in the estate of the Kupchikh Leshchinskaya, where Larisa Koshaq-Quitk lived for a while. 
It is here that the prominent Ukrainian poetess wrote cycles of poetry "Crimean memories", "Crimean Otzvuki", the story "Above the Sea" and the dramatic scene "Iphigenia in Tavrid"
However, my beloved estate of this area of \u200b\u200bYalta is a small mansion built on the project P.N. Krasnov, who once belonged to an outstanding Russian theologian, philosopher and economist Sergey Bulgakov. He is built as, in fact, the Museum of L. Ukrainka in the style of "ethnic" "Bakhchisarai Modern." 
The history of this ethnic Modern, started by the court architect Alexander II, and the Hippolyte of Anatolyevich Monighetti (1819-78), which was inspired by the motives of the Bakhchisarai Palace of Khanov, and recycling them, created the first Livadia Palace (from which only the Palace Church of the Cross Exaltation remained Lord). All the charm of this new architectural style, in turn, estimated the lead architect Yalta, Dvords, Nikolai Petrovich Krasnov, who erected not one dozen buildings in a similar style, setting a fashionable vector and other architects of the peninsula. 
Unfortunately today, the initial appearance of the Bulgakov estate is disfigured. Polygonal laying of Gasprinsky limestone plastered plastered, places covered with "fur coat", the facade is crowned with air conditioners. Changed and the entrance that was originally opened from the second floor, where the staircase was led (what kind of waterborne). 
The initial project of the Bulgakov House.
Immediately, the Yalta House of Children's Creativity is not far located, located in the building in which the private gynecological clinic-boardroom was located before the revolution. 
A huge two-story building is built in the style of neo-Greek, from the inner decoration, alas, only the hallway and the staircase railing are partially preserved. 
TO BE CONTINUED...
Greetings! An independent tour of the old streets of Yalta took about two hours and now I can say for sure that you will not recognize the city until you visit his historic district. It is known that Yalta has grown out of a small fishing village on the Polykurov Hill, it is there that all the flavor and spirit of time remained. My niece was interested to see, so we headed for ul. Drugsky.
Article Updated 24. 05. 2019
The old part of Yalta is located next to Lenin's embankment and the Massandrovsky Beach. Enough to go through the end of the street. Roosevelt and minimize on ul. Drugsky. My niece and I first visited the historic district, so they went to another way: the embankment passed, turned on the street. Ignatenka and upstairs to the stairs to st. Sverdlova. Our goal was old Yalta courtyards.
In this house, the observation deck on the roof was attracted, from there a beautiful panoramic view of Yalta opens.
The first to see the vintage buildings in need of restoration.
Some houses participated in the city competition of anti-grades, who conducted the South Yalta website. Everyone could send a photo of an ugly architectural object. This balcony, in the house on the street. Sverdlova, called - "Yellow Armored Train".
In the old area there are many shops. Next to the street. Drugsky, 22 There is a grocery store that works around the clock. On the other side, on the street. Drugsky, 15 A is the corporate store of the Crimean wines "Massandra".
With ul. Drugsky went down the stairs towards the sea and went on a market street. To the right - shops, left -.
In the boutique with the Crimean teas on herbs, aroma and other souvenir products, a very good range, though the prices are high. Photographed allowed only a view of the sea.
Returned back and continued the intended route. Here, as in the city center, a big problem with parking places and often arise traffic jams.
The street of Drugsky or "Drazhinka" received its name in honor of the Crimean underground and revolutionary Yuri Drugsky, who lived in one of the houses until 1920.
All yards are hidden behind high stone fences and lattices and you can only see them to guests.
Another "masterpiece" of Yalta architecture.
And nearby parking. How is all harmonious ...
Everywhere surrounded housing for holidaymakers. The number of phone numbers are hanging on fences and not only ...
They saw the passage to the patio, descended to see.
And this house did not even fit on its plot, part of the balcony hangs over the sidewalk.
I did not choose objects for this report, photographed everything that came across on the way.
Abandoned house.
We decided to return and turn on the street. Danchenko, where the "Yalta Favlay" begin. Behind her stretched st. Upper Slobodskaya or "Slobodka".
I liked that even in the streets of the streets were clean.
We were looking for such old houses.
But chaotic buildings hid all the beauty, exposing a completely different ...
Returned and went through the street. Roosevelt.

Walk through Old Yalta - ul. Ekaterininskaya
In May 2019, I decided to walk through another historical district of Yalta. If you want to see the oldest streets of the city, turn from Lenin's embankment, next to the monument to Nikolay Krasnov, on the street Ekaterininskaya.
Despite the neighborhood with a noisy embankment here more secluded space. Vintage houses are a bit, maybe ten will not go. Many tried to give a modern appearance, hiding under the finishing of initial architectural forms.
In a beautiful corner, under the age of century pines there is a 19th century mansion - the department of the Yalta historical and literary museum and a house where Ukrainian poetess Lesya Ukrainka lived in two years. Nowadays, various exposures are held on two floors.
Museum of Lesia Ukrainka
Street Ekaterininskaya intersects with ul. Chekhov, where the Bulcome of mineral drinking water is located. Water composition: sulfate-hydrocarbonate, magnesium-calcium.
In Yalta there are still many old streets and houses. It is a pity that the demand for the most popular Crimean resort destroys the historical part of the city, which needs to be protected. Every free piece of land is being built up and incomprehensible structures are chatting. Excursion for the old streets of Yalta left an ambiguous impression. I wanted to see the originality and ancient houses, and not building chaos, from where even the sea is not visible.
Thanks for attention!
Summer Yalta is associated with sea, hot days and beaches. /website/
This year, the summer in the Crimea does not seem to be over the previous one. Cool wind, frequent rains, sometimes pouring, cloudiness and cool water forced resting to look for other sources of inspiration beyond the beach.
In Yalta, there are quite a lot of interesting corners created to explore more detailed and deep. As for an interesting conversation, we are looking for a multi-faceted interlocutor, and for a researcher's traveler matters the possibility of knowledge of the environment, gender, life, traditions.
Attractiveness from the point of view of architecture, history and aesthetic satisfaction is made in themselves the streets of Yalta with old houses, castles, palaces.
One of the most interesting pedestrian routes in Yalta is a street connecting the village of Massandra from the Yalta embankment. She was one of the first streets of the city, which began from the postal Simferopol tract, so its first name was postal, then Simferopolskaya. Later, the street was renamed Kutuzovsky, now its name - Sverdlov.
Her live consumes attracted famous people at the end of the XIX century: the counts, generals, the merchants built their homes and castles. In the design of buildings, famous architects took part, including Nikolai Krasnov and Oscar Vegener. Some of these mansions have been preserved to this day, defining the unique appearance of Yalta.
The estate "Uch-Cham", translated - "three pines", built in neoroman style. The architectural ensemble is combined with a picturesque arch. The mansion belonged to Princess Maria Baryatinskaya, who loved to arrange charitable balls and secular events in the manor. Among her guests had the emperor Nicholas II with his family.

Going down the street of Sverdlov, it is impossible not to notice the impressive park, the estate of Count Nikolai Mordvinova, the first maritime minister of Russia.

The graph called his estate "good wasteland". On the territory of the estate, vineyards, gardens, a park, which was opened to visit the public were laid.
The palace on the territory of the estate was built by the Grand Count Mordvinov. The building is made in the style of the Renaissance of Gray Sandstone and Crimean Greenish Sandstone. The structure has survived to this day in primeval form.

Below the street survived residential old houses with turrets, unique masonry, arched windows, wooden carvings.
Through the buildings suddenly the wonderful view of the mountains surrounding Yalta and at home climbing on the slopes.
After a few minutes, the route leads to the embankment, decorated with blooming magnolias. After an exciting walk, you can reward yourself with a cup of coffee in one of the many cafes or swim in the gentle sea.
