Neidgart mansion


The first building was erected in 1849. Subsequently, the house was repeatedly reconstructed and passed from owner to owner. In the beginning of the 20th century it became a possession of Sanator Dmitry Neidgart. The name of an outstanding Russian statesman and reformer P. Stolypin is connected to the house because Neidgart’s sister Olga was Stolypin’s wife. Gustav Mannergeim and Paul Demidov lived in the mansion in different years. The house was reconstructed in 1911 for the last time. The civil engineer I. Burgazliev made a project of reconstruction. The well-known artist and architect I.
