Moscow Orphanage, Neoclassical landmark in Tagansky District, Moscow, Russia.
The Moscow Orphanage stretches 379 meters along the Moskva River, featuring intricate architectural details and a spired belvedere near the embankment.
Established in 1764 under Catherine the Great's reign, the orphanage aimed to create educated citizens but faced high mortality rates among its residents.
The institution operated its own theater from 1772, providing orphaned children opportunities to perform and develop artistic abilities through public performances.
The complex consists of six federal cultural heritage sites and eight additional buildings, currently undergoing extensive restoration to preserve its architectural elements.
The building stands as the largest pre-revolutionary structure in Moscow, with restoration teams using specialized wedge-shaped scaffolding to match its geometric design.
