Garden of Ermak, Public park in Tobolsk, Russia

The Garden of Ermak is a park in Tobolsk featuring walking paths, open grass areas, and a central monument set within a designed landscape. The space combines green grounds with proximity to the Tobolsk Kremlin and its surroundings.

The marble monument to Ermak Timofeyevich was erected on Chukman Cape on 18 October 1838 by order of Nicholas I, designed by architect A. P. Bryullov, and unveiled in August 1839. The garden itself was laid out only in 1855, when a greenhouse and hothouse were built and the site became a promenade. In 1891, after a visit by Tsarevich Nicholas, cannons linked by chains were placed around the monument.

The garden's name comes from the marble obelisk to Ermak Timofeyevich, raised in 1838 and unveiled in August 1839. Its west face reads "To the Conqueror of Siberia, Ermak"; the south side carries 1581, when he took Khan Kuchum's capital, and the north side 1584, the year of his death. In 1891, after a visit by Tsarevich Nicholas, cannons linked by chains were placed around it.

The garden is accessible throughout the year, with snow-covered paths in winter and green spaces for walking in summer months. It works well as a stop between visits to other historical sites in the old town.

The greenhouse and orangery were tended by a prisoner company of the civil department, which also sold flowers and stored houseplants for townspeople. In 1861 the greenhouse produced its first pineapples, an expensive crop in Siberia. The monument's base carries palm branches carved in an Egyptian style, with the dates 1581 and 1584 on the south and north sides.
