Ivanovka Estate

The Ivanovka estate in Gatchina is connected to the history of a mill, which has been owned by members of the Stackenschneider family since 1797. In 1856, the architect Andrei Stackenschneider became its proprietor and significantly expanded the adjacent plot, while a stone with the date "179." found during the roof renovation confirms that the building dates back to the 18th century. In the spring and summer of 2014, an exhibition about the history of the mill was held at the Gatchina Museum, after which cleanup events were organized near its walls to clean the building and tidy up the park. A legend is also associated with this place, stating that it was here, on November 5, 1796, that Pavel Petrovich was informed about the fatal illness of Catherine II.
