In it lived and the murderer of Rasputin Felix Yusupov, two years lived Felix Dzerzhinsky. In the distant 1945 there lived for two years Molotov and his immediate commander Stalin. Virtually all the secrets of the Yusupov Palace are associated with the turning points of history. And the mere fact that the powerful of this world was drawn to these walls is still an undeniable and inexplicable phenomenon.
History of the Yusupov Palace
Initially, the place of the palace was located "Pink House". It was the dacha of Anna Golitsyna, an ambitious girl and heiress of a pretty decent state. She had a rather strange passion for riding and preferred men's clothing. From that time only wine cellars and the park area were preserved.
In 1867 the house was bought by Adjutant-General Feliks Sumarokov. After marrying the last representative of the genus Yusupov Zinaida, he took her name and inherited the title. The Yusupov family occupied a rather solid position in society and had a great fortune. After Felix Jr. became the main organizer of the attempt on Rasputin, Yusupov and his wife were allowed to retire to their possession and already in 1919 they left Russia forever. But the palace did not stop its existence and attracted people with unusual destinies.
The palace was rebuilt several times. The architect Krasnov, who worked on the Livadia Palace, put his creative hand last to the modern appearance. During the nationalization of the 1920s, the Yusupov Palace in the Crimea became a state dacha or a holiday home. It is worth noting that the walls and interior of the palace completely survived after the Great Patriotic War.
In 1945, the Yalta Conference was held there. Even today, at the former place, there is a desk in the chief's office. Later, the palace again received the status of a summer residence, this time the Central Committee. There were so many important state and party figures that the walls of the house could tell more than one story about the course of events of that time.
Today, the Yusupov Palace in the Crimea is an architectural monument and is located in the office of the Ukrainian Security Service. Also there is a hotel complex, so getting inside is not so simple.
Yusupov Palace: excursions
For today, excursions to the Yusupov Palace are the most expensive in comparison with other similar ones. You can not get there yourself. You can choose a trip to the travel agency with this excursion in the list or contact the sanatorium "Miskhor". But the palace will be able to show only if no one lives on its territory in this period.
Architecture corresponds to the neo-Romanesque style with elements of the Italian Renaissance. At the entrance and around the park there are sculptures of lions, various mythological characters from marble, beautiful arches and stairs.
The interiors of the Yusupov Palace are mostly executed in the Art Nouveau style . White enamel panels with shelves for porcelain and bronze. The rooms have beautiful corner sofas and Viennese chairs. The exception is the office of the owner of the house. Among all the interiors of the Yusupov Palace, only there you can find a French tapestry, a massive writing desk and chicken chairs.
Now in the palace there is a division into three quiescent: "Stalin", "Molotov", "Yusupov". Until the beginning of the 21st century, the entrance there was ordered by a mere mortal and only the representatives of the top of the USSR could see the castle from within. From the beginning of 2002, excursions are sometimes held in the palace.
