Cherepovshchina. The Ruins Of The Malinovsky Estate.

At the end of the 19th century, an estate was built in the village of Cherepovshchina, which was owned by the Malinovsky family, whose decline began during the years of Soviet power. Despite the fact that the buildings were virtually empty for a long time, until recently the manor house was in good condition.

One part of the building was brick and the other was wooden. It is likely that according to the project, the house was conceived entirely of wood, but subsequently underwent reconstruction. Of particular interest were the wooden elements of the manor: a carved porch, a pediment above the main entrance, decorated ceilings. Inside there were two beautiful wooden spiral staircases, portals of doors, in one of the rooms the ceiling decoration of wooden parts was preserved. The stoves were made of bricks made in Riga.

The estate was bought by an entrepreneur who carried out restoration and conservation work on the historical appearance of the building. However, in 2014, a fire finally turned the Malinovsky estate in Cherepovets into ruins. The second floor and the roof were almost completely lost.  From the local park to the present day, only some old trees and a free space in place of lawns have been preserved.

 Today, there is practically nothing left of the estate here, only the walls, all in hogweed. Only extensive basements with a well located in them remained accessible. I must say that the basements have been preserved in good condition. It is known that in the 19th century the owner of the estate grew snails there, which he then supplied to European courtyards. Of the buildings, the lyadoynya was also preserved - a separate building in which products were stored.

That's probably all. It is a pity that this historic building was not preserved.
