Alexandrowka, Russian architectural ensemble in Potsdam, Germany
The settlement contains thirteen wooden houses constructed in traditional Russian style, featuring decorative carvings and elevated foundations in northern Potsdam.
King Frederick William III of Prussia established Alexandrowka between 1826 and 1827 to house Russian singers from the First Prussian Regiment of the Guards.
The architectural design mirrors the village of Glosovo near St. Petersburg, incorporating elements from Italian architect Carlo Rossi's traditional Russian configurations.
House Number 2 functions as the Museum Alexandrowka, displaying exhibits about the Russian singers and construction methods of the nineteenth century.
Each original resident received a furnished house and a cow, with property ownership restricted to male descendants of the Russian singers.
