Gudovich Mansion

The Gudovich Mansion is an Art Nouveau residence in Pushkin characterized by ornate details adorning its main facade, side wings, and the decorative fencing along Parkovaya Street. The structure displays the flowing lines and intricate surface ornamentation typical of this architectural style.

The residence was designed by architect Silvio Danini and constructed between 1905 and 1906 during a period of architectural experimentation in Russia. The construction reflects the influence of Western European design movements reaching Russian urban centers at the turn of the century.

The residence became a symbol of early twentieth-century prosperity for privileged families and continues to shape the town's character through its ornamental details. The lavish facade design reflects how the wealthy displayed their status through architectural choices.

The building sits along Parkovaya Street where its exterior details are visible from the sidewalk, making it easy to observe the facade from street level. The location in Pushkin is accessible to visitors interested in viewing early twentieth-century residential architecture.

During urban reconstruction, engineers relocated the entire structure including its basement levels as one piece without causing structural damage, an uncommon feat of preservation engineering. This relocation is a remarkable example of how the building survived significant urban changes.
