Description of the attraction
Museum-Estate "Suida" - the former estate of the great-grandfather of the great Russian poet A. S. Pushkin, Hannibal Abram Petrovich. The mysterious personality of Peter the Great's associate still haunts many historians.
In the spring of 1759 A. P. Hannibal acquired the Suida estate with the village of Voskresenskoye and the surrounding villages from Count Fyodor Alekseevich Apraksin. Here Hannibal set up the main estate of his possessions, later to which he bought the neighboring Yelitsk, Kobrin and Taitsk lands. In Suida A. P. Hannibal settled with his family in 1762 after retirement.
In Suida there was already a baroque manor house, services, a regular garden with a pond, and other manor buildings. Abram Petrovich attached great importance to the improvement of his estate. Under him, canals were created here, new alleys appeared, a humpback bridge, a gazebo, a grotto were erected. A stone mill was built near the road to Kobrino, on the Suida River. They say that there was even a fountain, a sundial in the Hannibal estate. But the most important attraction of Suida was a stone sofa, which was carved out by the serfs in a huge boulder.
At the time of Hannibal, agriculture flourished in Suida. Here they began to grow potatoes, which were then considered a curiosity, the greenhouses, where peaches, lemons, and apricots were grown, were a special pride of the estate. Half of all the area of the estate was arable land. Sustainable harvests were ensured by a special drainage system that diverted water from waterlogged lands.
Abram Petrovich was a zealous parishioner in the church in Suida and took care of it: at one time they donated several spiritual books to the church.
The house of Hannibal was filled with numerous relics associated with Peter I. The library was the pride of the owner. The manor house burned down in 1897.
Hannibal died in Suida in 1781. He was buried in the Old Cemetery, but the grave was later lost. Nowadays, a granite stele has been installed at the supposed place of his burial. According to the will, the estate of Hannibal went to his eldest son, Ivan, a famous military leader of Catherine's time, the founder of the city of Kherson, the hero of the Battle of Chesme. Ivan Abramovich spent most of his time in Suida, the famous commander Suvorov was a frequent visitor to the estate.
On the land of Suida, there are still legends about the "black master". And some even believe that Hannibal blood is present in their bloodlines.
The village of Voskresenskoye, which was part of the Hannibals estate, is associated with the name of the nanny A. S. Pushkin - the well-known Arina Rodionovna. Here she was born, hence her fairy tales. And to this day, the Pestrikovs live here - the descendants of her relatives.
In the Suida estate, Nadezhda Hannibal, the mother of the great poet, was born, spent her childhood and grew up. Here in 1796 she was married to Lieutenant S. L. Pushkin. They lived on this estate after the wedding. It is not known whether Alexander Sergeevich has ever been here. According to legend, it is here that the famous Pushkin Lukomorye is located, and more recently a seven-hundred-year-old oak rose in the manor park on the bank of the pond.
Now there is a museum in Suida. It was created in 1986 as a public one, but received state status in the year of the 200th anniversary of the poet's birth. The museum occupies a part of the original stone building from the time of Hannibal - the guest wing. The main exposition of the museum is represented by memorial relics of Abram Petrovich and his descendants. Here are the items of Pushkin's great-grandfather: a bronze candlestick, books from his library, a box, a silver teaspoon, a snuffbox.
Most of the exhibits were donated to the museum by the Moscow and St. Petersburg descendants of Hannibal, the old-timers of Suida, and Pushkin scholars. The pride of the museum is an old towel with lace and the monogram "AS" They say that it belonged to A. S. Pushkin.
In addition to the Hannibal outbuilding, Suida has preserved: stables, a steward's house, a man's house, a barnyard, and a smithy. The original decoration of the estate is the old park, where part of the Bathing Linden Alley has survived. The Linden, Birch and Spruce alleys have been partially preserved.
Hannibal's stone sofa, which used to be in the Wet Meadow, now stands in front of the pond.
In 1990, during the laying of a gas pipeline through the center of the estate, the foundations of an old house and numerous relics of the past were discovered. Of particular value among the finds are: clay smoking pipes, fragments of Dutch stove tiles, a copper coin of 1766, fragments of porcelain and glassware, a cannonball, a copper travel bell, forged nails. At present, all these relics have been transferred to the exposition of the Suydin Museum.
In the museum-estate "Suida" Pushkin festivals are held annually, descendants of the Hannibals often come here.

Show all text Hannibal's sofa was previously not in the place shown in the photo, that is, not where it is today. Wet Meadow is the first place of its installation, from which the sofa was moved by someone and once. There is also Hannibal's oak, which for some reason is confused with the Oak which burned down and is described by Pushkin and it is located on the opposite bank of the Lukomorye. But for everyone I quote the dimensions of SOFA HANNIBAL length 236 cm, width at the bottom 120 cm, seat height at the feet along the front front 56 cm height on the back 130 cm armstock length 50 cm, seat back height 34 cm.

In the Museum of Hannibal A. P. there is my book "Your pedigree. Who are YOU?". There is also an alley of memory of Hannibal in those places, which I laid together with his other descendants. Nowhere are the dimensions of Hannibal's sofa, its length, height, width and weight should also be given to someone. There are no sizes of Lukomorya and they also need to know its length., width, depth. And what height and diameter was the "green oak" which the boobies burned.
