Dacha of Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich

The dacha of Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich in Pushkin was built in 1896–1897, with all construction materials and workers brought from England. The estate, planted with lindens, maples, elms, pines, and larches, has a layout that protects the plot from wind from all sides. The main house and the stable building were erected simultaneously, with the stables repeating the forms of the main house in a simpler manner and topped with a small clock tower. This building served as a model for country houses in the "Anglo-Saxon style," which gave rise to the Neo-Romantic direction of St. Petersburg Art Nouveau, and films, including two episodes of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson," were shot on its territory.
