  • 5/5 Fantasma �. 7 years ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Miracle tower. Fairy tale house. True, the history of the house and its owner is a sad fairy tale. The place for the construction was chosen after visiting the Tsvetkov mansion (located across the house, and it makes sense to inspect and compare), also built in the Russian style. Fascinated by the views, Pertsov purchased a plot nearby. The deed of sale was issued in the name of Zina’s wife, so in many sources we see the building as the “Pertsova House”. The house was built according to Malyutin's design (architect Zhukov, engineer Schnauber), despite the fact that during the competition first place was awarded to Vasnetsov's project. The interior decoration was in no way inferior to the external charm of the building. Surprisingly, some interior details have been preserved. Unfortunately, you cannot see them; entry is “not for everyone.” Almost immediately after construction, the house was mortgaged. A few years later he was released from bail. But a long and happy life in the house did not work out. That was the time. Arrest of the owner of the house, then release, but also simultaneous eviction from his own home. The residents of the house were unusual and colorful. Trotsky himself moved into the Pertsovs’ apartment. “Creative youth” and others lived on the upper floors. I had great pleasure looking at dragons, magical birds and other strange animals.

    The story of building Residential house of Pertsova, which is also known as a fairy-tale house, is one of the finest examples of Moscow art nouveau buildings constructed in 1905–07 by the architects Schnaubert B.N. and Zhukov N.K. The house itself was built based on a sketch of a talented artist Sergey Malyutin. Enamored of Russian folklore fabulous epos, he created not only the buildings but also the furniture and everyday objects. What made his creations unique was a sense of fairy-tale, with symbols and history he found in folk art. Malyutin also authored the most famous Russian souvenir– Matryoshka doll.

    A beautiful building next to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. There is an interesting story behind the idea behind its construction; you should definitely listen or read it. You definitely need to take a closer look at the details. Unfortunately, it is not possible to visit inside the building.

  • 5/5 Santosh D. 3 months ago on Google • 479 reviews New
    An architectural creation that deserves the attention of even the most sophisticated tourists. Zinaida Pertsova, the official owner of the architectural masterpiece, was the wife of philanthropist and railway magnate Pyotr Pertsov. The entrepreneur built an apartment building in 1907, one part of which was intended for tenants of talented artists and performers, the second for his own residence. In 1922 Pertsov was arrested and the house was nationalized. Leon Trotsky and other military leaders lived in the mansion. Since the 1970s, GlavUpDK of the Russian Foreign Ministry has been located. The attraction is included in many walking tours of the Russian capital. Unfortunately, an object of federal significance can only be viewed from the outside.

  • 5/5 Павел �. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Built by the Pertsov couple at the beginning of the 20th century. The chic design of the facade will not leave anyone indifferent. Too bad it's almost impossible to get inside. KHOZU MFA vigilantly guards wonderful interiors from prying eyes. (Original) Построен супружеской четой Перцовых в начале двадцатого века. Шикарное оформление фасада никого не оставит равнодушным. Жаль, что внутрь попасть почти невозможно. ХОЗУ МИДа бдительно охраняет от посторонних глаз чудесные интерьеры.

  • 5/5 Jim J. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The author of the project was artist Sergey Malyutin, Nikolay Zhukov acted as an architect, and engineer Boris Schnaubert led the construction. The building was conceived as a tenement house for the creative intelligentsia. At different times, artists Pavel Sokolov-Skalya, Robert Falk, Vasily Rozhdestvensky, Nathan Altman, Alexander Kuprin and others lived in it. In 1908-1909, in the basement of the house was located the cabaret "Bat". Since the mid-1970s, he has been in the department of the Main Directorate for the Service of the Diplomatic Corps at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. (Original) Автором проекта был художник Сергей Малютин, в качестве архитектора выступил Николай Жуков, руководил строительством инженер Борис Шнауберт. Здание задумывалось как доходный дом для творческой интеллигенции. В разное время в нём проживали художники Павел Соколов-Скаля, Роберт Фальк, Василий Рождественский, Натан Альтман, Александр Куприн и другие. В 1908—1909 годах в подвале дома размещалось кабаре «Летучая мышь». С середины 1970-х находится в ведомстве Главного управления по обслуживанию дипломатического корпуса при МИД России.

    Historical heritage. Restoring of the Prechistenskaya set: sidewalks, lawns, facades of new stylish houses built in traditional low-rise buildings!

    (Translated by Google) This building attracted my attention on the other side of the river, and when I accidentally passed under the windows ... It just beckons me to myself. I like to see the facade very much. Looking at him, you want to delve into history in search of fascinating secrets. It can be said that this architecture inspires, encourages reflection and delivers aesthetic pleasure. To create such a house is undoubtedly talent and great work. (Original) Это здание привлекало моё внимание и с другой стороны реки, и когда случайно проходила под окнами... Оно так и манит меня к себе. Очень нравится рассматривать фасад. Глядя на него хочется копаться в истории в поисках увлекательных тайн. Можно сказать, что эта архитектура вдохновляет, побуждает к размышлениям и доставляет эстетическое удовольствие. Создать такой дом - это несомненно талант и большой труд.

    (Translated by Google) Out of the Golden Dome Cathedral Walk through this building. To stand for a while and then take a camera. Explore the ancient art nouveau style with mosaics, mirrors and balconies. There is a dragon on the balcony. On the roof are decorated with animals. I do not like the other buildings. (Original) ออกจากมหาวิหารโดมทอง เดินผ่านมาทางอาคารหลังนี้ ต้องยืนจ้องอยู่พักนึงแล้วหยิบกล้องมาถ่ายรูป มาค้นดูถึงรู้ว่าเป็นที่พักอาศัยเก่าแก่ ศิลปะแบบ nouveau style มีกระเบื้องโมเสสตกแต่งขอบกระจกและระเบียง มีมังกรรองรับระเบียงอยู่ บนหลังคามีการตกแต่งด้วยสัตว์ต่างๆ ดูแปลกตาไม่เหมือนอาคารอื่นๆ น่าทึ่งค่ะ
