Red Profintern, Ponizovkin Castle: review, history and reviews

How many unexplored places and unusual people in Russia! A striking castle was built a hundred years ago in the Yaroslavl region. Now this place on the left steep bank of the Volga is called the Red Profintern, and earlier the village was called Guzitsino. In it lives a little more than 1700 people.

History of the village

In 1862, a peasant Nikita Ponizovkin came with a sum to the village of Durkovo. Came and got rich. How? Unknown. In 1863 he enlisted in the guild of merchants of the first degree. He began to build plants for the production of molasses from starch. There was enough potato in the district, and the factories worked at full force, making starch. In addition to molasses and starch, the enterprising entrepreneur produced varnishes and paint. They quickly separated. In the 1880s, there were fourteen enterprises all over the neighborhood. In 1866 he began to build a large factory, and then in 1867 went to Yaroslavl. More about him did not hear anything. Disappeared, disappeared forever. He was about sixty years old.

The heirs completed a large and modern factory for that time, continued the work of the founder and opened the trading house of Nikita Ponizovkin's sons. The new large factory produced the first products in 1868. Things were going well. The results of economic activity were exhibited at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1889. Ponizovkin received a large silver medal. They no longer knew the problems with money and could afford construction for personal needs in the village, which is now called the Red Profintern. Ponizovkina Castle was different from other buildings with magnificent beauty and splendor of decoration. Now it is being restored. Most of the farm buildings have been preserved and even used. On its basis the starch-packing factory "Yarpatoka" works.

New construction and its owners

Who has not heard about the settlement in the Yaroslavl Region Red Profintern? Ponizovkina Castle attracts visitors here, and residents enthusiastically tell about it. He was handsome, and now he began to revive. Old photographs taken in the village (now - the Red Profintern), Ponizovkin Castle show in all its splendor. The history of its construction is gradually becoming overgrown with legends. The legend says that the grandson of Nikita Petrovich Nikita Andreevich married a beautiful Frenchwoman. More precisely, his wife was a girl from Russified Germans - Rosa Bursian. For a young wife on the bank of the Volga, from where a wonderful view of the water surface and a distant shore opened, a Ponizovkin castle was built in the Russian outback (now the Red Profintern) by an architect whose name is unknown. At the young couple, while the palace was being built from 1912 to 1914, Tatyana and Andrei's son were born. But they did not have time to live together, and soon divorced. The guilt was the amorousness of Nikita Andreyevich. His wife and daughter left for Moscow, and Nikita Andreevich stayed with his son in his native land. In Moscow before the revolution, Roza Petrovna worked as a librarian, and then got married and began to lead her home. Nikita Andreyevich went to work with his head, but later got married. When the revolutionary events came, the well-being ended. What happened next to him, no one knows. This is a mystery for local historians. Built under Yaroslavl (Red Profintern) Ponizovkin's castle did not become a patrimonial nest, as, probably, it was planned.

What did the castle look like?

The center of the building is a two-story forward cube with high arched Venetian windows. Under them on the first floor - the main entrance. It is completed by a spacious semi-circular terrace. This rizalit is connected by a two-story transition with a high quadrangular three-story tower on the right, which has an observation deck at the top and a balcony, the fence of which recalls the Middle Ages. On its first floor there are three deep oval niches. The round tower also has two floors. It is completed by a conical roof. This is the facade of the building, which is clearly visible in the old photo. Windows were often made up of small elements. In the Nekrasovsky district (Red Profintern), the castle of Nikita Ponizovkin is a unique creation. In this building mixed different styles, because it is called eclectic. The palace most of all gravitated towards gothic and modern. Passengers on the steamers across the Volga passengers admired them for a long time. And around was a park with limes and fragrant jasmine. In it grew silvery poplars and Chinese apple-trees.

What was inside

The decoration of the mansion was, according to the descriptions, luxurious: the front entrance staircase emphasized the interior of the building, the lobby was decorated in Egyptian style, columns were standing, there was a mosaic patterned with parquet, the ceilings were painted, motley stucco molding, gilded cornices, mahogany panels hiding part of the walls , In the winter garden with a glass roof all year round was summer. The walls were decorated not only with frescoes, but also with silk and brocade. The house was heated from a boiler room located in the basement. Through the pipes, hidden in the walls (they were double), warm air came in. The walls were warmed, and the house was dry and warm. Everyone admired this beauty, which everyone saw only from the outside. So unique, unique in its kind and strange was the castle of Ponizovkina. Red Profintern is proud of this place.

Guest House

Near the castle there is a two-story premise for relatives and guests. Traditionally, the first floor is made of bricks, and the second one is made of wood. The tree allowed to decorate it with complex carvings. On the second floor you can climb the heavy patterned iron staircase. In some places stucco ceilings have been preserved. Stucco was once gilded. Now it is lost in places or whitewashed. In the rooms there are Dutch stoves. The high doors are decorated with frosted glass. They feature fantastic grasses and griffins. The floor is parquet.

After the revolution

First, Ponizovkin's castle (the Red Profintern) was looted. Then they made a school in it, changing the heating. It became steam, and the house began to damp. Repair was not carried out, as there was no money. Then there was a club, then a library. By the way, the richest library of Ponizovkins was lost. By the end of the 20th century, the Ponizovky's castle was empty and gradually collapsed. The city authorities refused it. The roof was flowing, the interior rooms were a miserable sight.

The nineties

In 1993, the castle was bought, but by 2001 its owners went bankrupt without doing anything for the palace. I managed to take something to the Yaroslavl Art Museum.

Revival

The group of companies "Tashir" in 2008 acquired the palace of the Ponizovkins and quickly began its restoration. The facade was strengthened, the internal premises were cleaned of debris and brought to a worthy appearance. The homestead territory is also put in order.

Bashmet Festival

In 2016, on May 5, Yuri Bashmet held a music festival in the already well-arranged palace. In the castle of N. Ponizovkin in the Middle Ages, a trio played, playing Brahms works. Later, in July, the castle was visited by Lyubov Kazarnovskaya, who, giving a concert, noted his excellent acoustics.
