Today the Belogorka estate, unfortunately, is a pretty sad sight. But even at the very beginning of the 20th century a wonderful palace was erected here in the modern-style modernist architectural style and an amazing landscape park was built. Today the estate is in a dilapidated state, the park is overgrown, but despite this, Belogorka is a very interesting and definitely worth visiting place.

Belogorka Estate dates back to the late 18th century when Emperor Pavel the First gave it to General Malyutin . However, the land was soon partially sold to the leader of the local nobility F . Belu . At that time the estate was called "Gorka", after it was named "Belyagorka", and its name, by which we know it so far, was received only at the beginning 20th century . Owners of the estate often changed, o These masters of the last landowner was Belogorka Novitsky, after whose death the manor moved his wife Elizabeth Alexandrovna Eliseeva . At that time, the manor restructured, renewed and equipped with modern amenities .

In 1906 .here was built the St. Nicholas Church, the author of the project was the well-known architect C . And . Ovsyannikov . In 1912 on the site of the old manor house there is a magnificent palace in the Art Nouveau style erected under the direction of . P . Tavlinova . Unfortunately, the masters of the estate were not destined to enjoy life here for long - in October 1917 a Bolshevik coup occurred and Belogorck's homestead was nationalized .In 1925 . in its territory was located an experimental agricultural station, which in the mid-fifties turned into a scientific research institute .

The palace built in the Art Nouveau style was surrounded by a beautiful backyard park with paths . To this day oaks, lindens, birch, spruce and fir, the age of some of them totals up to a century and a half . The wall that separates the park from the north is also preserved - from here the magnificent views of the Oredezhi River and its wooded banks open . The wrought-iron lattice borders Belogorka Manor Park from the south . @ Unfortunately, despite all the the charm and beauty of the park, today it is cluttered . Everywhere there is an obscene kind of greenhouse and greenhouse . Right in the clearing that was located in front of the palace, young plantings were planted in a chaotic order . Thus a beautiful view of the main manor house , once opened from the entrance .
