Orlov's Dacha

The Orlov Dacha in Strelna is an estate of which, by 2016, the tower-ruin, Gothic gate, grotto, gatekeeper's house, well, and the stable yard with greenhouses had been preserved. In 1951, the gatekeeper's house was assessed as 57 percent destroyed, and the former guardhouse was decided to be transferred for use as a library; however, in 2009, the KGIOP recorded illegal construction of a mansard roof that violated the historical appearance of the building. In September 1941, the Orlov Palace was burned down during the retreat of Soviet troops, and after the revolution, the estate was nationalized and used to house a children's colony, schools, and a film technical school. In 2024, the court ordered the restoration of the buildings of the Stable Yard within four years.
