Unknown Matisov Island
Description:
Washed from the north by the Moika River, from the south and east by the Buckle, from the west by the Big Neva, this island harbors many mysteries, stories and secrets.
About it, as a rule, know little or even the indigenous people of the city. There are no excursions here.
I invite you to take a walk in this quiet corner of St. Petersburg.
Once this island almost all belonged to the Scotsman Charles Byrd, who created a mighty empire, received in the 19th century the privilege to build steamships throughout Russia.
There was also a mental hospital on the island. And if not many people know the island, then it is worth saying "Buckle", everyone immediately understands - psychiatric hospital No. 2.
During the walk, we:
- get acquainted with the history of the foundation and development of Matisov Island;
- find out where on the island was the favorite resting place of Grand Duke Constantine (KR);
Remember the famous patients of the clinic for the mentally ill;
- see the remains of Charles Byrd's mighty empire.
Meeting at 57th Street. Decembrists (near the museum-apartment of A.A. Blok).
