Detchino Estate

Фото 1
In the second half of the 18th century, the land holdings were divided into three unequal parts. One of them was used as a summer residence by landowner Marfa Gavrilovna Radilova, the Rahmanov nobles, and second-major Vasily Alekseevich Zhokhov, who was a deputy from the nobility of the Maloyaroslavets district in the 1780s.

The remaining two-thirds of the estate belonged to Princess Praskovya Grigoryevna Hilkova, born Polonskaya. The long ownership of the estate by the Hilkov princes is confirmed by the fact that in 1712 they built a stone church in Detchino in honor of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which unfortunately has not survived to this day. In the chapel of the church, dedicated to the Life-Giving Trinity, services were held for the peasants of the village and residents of nearby villages for a long time. The estate was surrounded by a wooden manor house, residential wings, outbuildings, a vegetable garden, and a small fruit orchard, while on the Sukhodrev River there was a flour mill with two sets.

From the late 18th century and in the first quarter of the 19th century, the Detchino estate, along with 120 serfs, was owned by nobleman Vasily Lavrentyevich Lvov, the brother of the future governor of Kaluga, A.L. Lvov. Before his death, he made a will, transferring all his property to his niece Alexandra Andreyevna Lvova, who was married to Colonel A.P. Polivanov from an ancient noble family.

At the age of sixty, the widowed Alexandra Andreyevna transferred the lands and peasants to her daughters Maria, Ekaterina, Vera, and Feodosia. According to archival documents, in the mid-19th century, the estate had a two-story manor house with a stone lower part and a wooden upper part, two one-story stone wings with mezzanines, various outbuildings, a riding hall, a cattle yard, quarters for laborers, a dense park, and three fenced ponds.

In the 1860s, part of the estate passed to the leader of the nobility of the Maloyaroslavets district, Alexander Alekseevich Atryganyev, and Moscow noblewoman Ekaterina Alexandrovna Kutyrina, who received 407 desyatinas of land.

Later, the land holdings in Detchino were acquired by Tula merchant Andrei Stepanovich Rusakov, who attempted to open iron foundries and distilleries, but they turned out to be unprofitable. Going bankrupt, Rusakov sold the estate lands to the Goncharov nobles, who became the last owners of Detchino.

After the October Revolution, the estate owners emigrated, and the main manor house was soon demolished. Today, on the site of the former estate, two one-story residential wings with mezzanines remain, their exterior altered by modern brick extensions. The central part of the facade with three tall semicircular windows and a semicircular window of the mezzanine remains untouched. Also preserved are the kitchen wing from the early 19th century, remnants of outbuildings, and the abandoned landscape park 'Island' with overgrown ponds on the banks of the Sukhodrev River, where residents of the village of Detchino now relax.
