Bogoslovka Estate

The Bogoslovka estate in the Nevsky forest park of Kolpino is a complex where it is planned to recreate the Kargopol fortress of 1664–1665 with the Spasskaya Church and the voivode's house. The territory of about 600 hectares is under a long-term lease of the Pokrovsky Foundation, which won a court case in 2012 regarding the ownership rights to part of the land. The holy gates and the fence of the complex are conceived as a reconstruction of the fences of the late 18th century of the Lyadinsky and Spassky churchyards of Kargopol district, and a bell tower will also be restored in the park according to the measurements of Vladimir Suslov from 1884. The first private owner of the area was Archpriest Fyodor Yakovlevich Dubiansky, and in 1843 the estate passed to N. V. Zinoviev, after which it became known as Zinovievka.
