Town estate of D. F. Belyaev
Town estate of D. F. Belyaev, Art Nouveau estate in Tagansky District, Russia
Description
The Belyaev mansion is a two-story brick building with mint-colored ceramic tiles across its facade and horizontal moldings framing two rows of windows. A central projection marks its exterior, while original ceiling stucco work and a metal entrance canopy characterize its interior and entry areas.
History
The estate was built in 1903 by architect Alexander Galetsky, replacing an earlier 18th-century structure that belonged to the Ryumin family, prosperous needle factory owners. This transition from older residential building to modern Art Nouveau villa marked a turning point in the district's urban development.
Culture
The facade displays Venetian mosaics showing poppies at sunset, alongside decorative iron gates inspired by Belgian architect Victor Horta's work. These ornaments reflect how residents valued artistic details throughout their living spaces.
Practical
The property holds federal cultural heritage status, ensuring its preservation for cultural visits and study. Visitors can access the gardens and explore the metal entrance canopy and the grounds surrounding the mansion.
Did you know?
The metal fence encircling the grounds features an expressive pattern inspired by the Art Nouveau whiplash motif, possibly designed by architect Galetsky himself. This distinctive ironwork gives the property a special visual identity and demonstrates the artistic consistency throughout the entire design.
