Ramon Castle of Oldenburg

Ramon is a tourist pearl of the Voronezh Territory, on the map of the Russian state appeared four centuries ago. It is also known that the settlement arose on the site where the village of Rodnya was located, which was founded here by settlers from the Chernihiv land. After the ravages of the Mongol-Tatars until the beginning of the XVII century, the area was in desolation.

An important milestone in the development of the village was the decree of Peter I on the construction of a shipyard in Ramoni. In the XVII century, small military vessels were built here. At the end of the XVIII century, the village became the property of retired captain Ivan Tulinov, his son Nikolai founded a beet sugar plant here, which later became a fairly large and giving high profits enterprise. Ramon more than once became the object of litigation, until in the XIX was not in the ownership of the royal dynasty of the Romanovs in the person of Princess Eugene Maximilianovna of Oldenburg, née Princess Romanovskaya, niece of Alexander II.

The business card of Ramoni and the most famous landmark of the whole Voronezh region is the Oldenburg castle complex. This outstanding landscape-architectural creation is the only palace complex in the Central Black Earth region of Russia, the owners of which were related by blood to the Russian imperial family.

Unlike many Russian landowners, Princess Eugenia was actively engaged in the development of her village. She was a sweet tooth, but decided not to write out candy from Europe, but steam machines, creating her own confectionery factory in Ramoni, which produced sweets famous throughout the Russian Empire. The factory produced more than 400 types of confectionery products. Ramon chocolates were served at the royal table and exported to European capitals.
