* Program:
• Group meeting 07:50 - 08:00 Moskovskaya metro station (189 Moskovsky Ave.).
- And our first stop will be in Vyritsa or Tsarskoye Bor. This place became famous thanks to the famous ascetic of the XX century — St. Seraphim Vyritsky. His relics rest in the chapel, perched at the altar of the wooden Kazan church. In addition, you will see the restored Peter and Paul Church built in 1906-1908.
- The neighboring village of Kurovitsy has been known since 1499. And in the XVIII century, the manor of the inspector of the St. Petersburg Smolny Institute of Noble Maidens, Anna Fedorovna Roshtok, appeared there.
- The true masterpiece of Oredezh is still the Belogorka manor, built in the Art Nouveau style. We will take a look at the building from afar through the fence, and then try to go down to the shore a little to the side to admire the hydroelectric power station and the red banks of the Oredezh River.
- Lampovo. Many of these huts, built in the XIX century, have been preserved in Lampovo to this day.
- Another small settlement preserves the memory of the Druzhnoselye estate, owned by the famous Field Marshal General Prince Peter Christianovich Wittgenstein.
- Our further path lies in a place called Chikino. In tsarist times, a copper smelter owned by the Chikin brothers worked here on the power of water. Their products: tableware, samovars, the first army aluminum flask could be found in almost every home.
- The ancient village of Batovo.
- Lunch at the cafe for those who wish.
- Those who wish will be able to take an excursion to the estate and visit the Nativity Church of the late XIX century, under the walls of which representatives of the Rukavishnikov – Nabokov family were buried.
- At the end of our program, you will be able to explore the Sivoritsa estate. You can also go inside the manor house.
