Sadki Manor

ooh Post, 11-15, Chekhov, Moscow region, 142300, Russian Federation

Description:

The history of the Sadki estate actually began with the construction of the church of John the Forerunner. It was built in 1771 by the founders of the estate Eropkin, who owned it until the middle of the XIX century. The main manor house was built of wood and collapsed over the years. Subsequently, the estate was restored in brick, but the original appearance was lost. To this day, only fragments of manor buildings have survived, as well as an ancient lime park with cascading ponds.

The main attraction of the Sadki estate is a church in the classical style with Baroque elements. Throughout its history, the temple underwent major changes that virtually destroyed its original appearance. However, it is a very picturesque building, topped by a light rotunda, above which the dome rises. The church is adjacent to the refectory, which was expanded in the XIX century due to the construction of chapels. Simultaneously with the refectory, a two-tier bell tower was built.

In the 30s, the church was ruined and closed, and only in 1991 it was decided to return it to the faithful. At the same time, work began on the restoration of the main manor house. Another shrine is the holy springs, beating from the ground near the temple.
