Stables of the Tatischev Estate

The historical boundaries of the estate of E.V. Tatischev, a cultural heritage site of federal significance, were located in a large block between Petrovsky Boulevard, Petrovka Street, and Krapivensky Lane. This large noble estate was formed in the White City in the mid-18th century. Around 1775-1776, it was acquired by state councilor Yevgraf Vasilyevich Tatischev, the son of the famous historian Vasily Nikitich Tatischev. He built a classic-style estate here, including the main house with two wings and a service building. Although the project is often attributed to M.F. Kazakov, there is no documentary evidence for this; the author may have been someone from his circle. Later, the estate passed to Yevgraf's son, Rostislav, who, after retiring from the position of prosecutor of the Berg College, settled in Moscow and managed his estates. He was known as an art connoisseur and a collector of paintings. The heir to the throne, the future Emperor Paul I, once visited his house, which Tatischev was very proud of.

After the death of Rostislav Yevgrafovich, the estate passed to his daughter Elizabeth, who married Prince S.S. Vyazemsky. Elizabeth and her daughter Varvara were known as patrons of charitable committees. In the 1860s, the property on Petrovsky Boulevard was acquired by merchant of the 1st guild L.I. Katuar. Under him, in 1869, the main house and wings were partially reconstructed according to the design of architect A.S. Kaminsky.

The semicircular building 5 in the courtyard of the estate originally served as a stable and was built during the Tatischevs' time. The unusual curved service buildings concealed the irregular shape of the plot and created a cozy enclosed courtyard. To this day, the wings behind the main house (buildings 4 and 5) house a kindergarten. Together with the curved building 4, the former stable forms a space reminiscent of a riding arena.

The stable has hardly changed its historical appearance and is a cultural heritage site of regional significance. It is a two-story building, with the first-floor windows highlighted by high niches, and the entrance adorned with a false portico featuring two Doric pilasters and a simple rectangular profile.
