The remains of beautiful Sorokin’s dacha
2 Comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Architecture, Photos, Regions
On the bank of the Volga River near the town of Tutaev (Yaroslavl oblast) you can see the remains of a very beautiful building, known as Sorokin’s dacha.
It is believed that the house in the Moorish style was bought by Yaroslavl merchant Sergei Nikolayevich Sorokin at the fair in Nizhny Novgorod. The house was built in 1868. Also there was a park with a pond, fountains and pavilions around the dacha. Photos by vj_jjic
In Soviet times, the building housed a rest home, and after the Second World War – summer camp for the children. The building is still standing, but after the closure of the camp, it was abandoned, destroyed by looters, damaged during a hurricane. Probably in the near future this beautiful building will be completely destroyed.

It’s so beautiful! And it looks like the base for the building was built with logs? And then covered with siding? Interesting method of construction. Hopefully someone will save whatever is salvageable, before too much more of it disintegrates. So much of that intricately carved wood trim from 1868 could be reused on another home…

Its a tragedy that this once resplendent dacha is not being preserved. Its history being ignored.
