Golovkin's dacha, Art Nouveau dacha in Samara, Russia

Description

Golovkin's dacha is a two-story Art Nouveau residence featuring grand elephant sculptures at its entrance, tall narrow windows, and curved architectural elements throughout. The facade displays the hallmark features of this style with organic forms and refined details.

History

The residence was built between 1908 and 1909 by merchant Konstantin Golovkin and architect Valentin Tepfer, originally serving as a summer home. After the 1917 Revolution, it was repurposed for various institutional uses over the following decades.

Culture

The building reflects merchant Golovkin's artistic vision through elements he personally designed, including sketches for the signature elephant sculptures. These works show his taste and connection to the Art Nouveau movement.

Practical

The building sits on Sovetskoy Armii Street 292 and is currently undergoing renovation to restore its original appearance after decades of institutional use. Visitors should check the current restoration progress before planning a visit to see what areas are accessible.

Did you know?

The owner sealed construction documents and photographs inside one of the concrete elephant sculptures during the building's construction. These hidden time capsules remain a testament to his care and pride in the project.
