Description of the attraction
"Lopasnya-Zachatyevskoe" is the estate of the Vasilchikovs, Lansky, Pushkins, Goncharovs families. After the death of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, his wife Natalya Nikolaevna often visited the Vasilchikov estate in Lopasna with her children. Natalya Nikolaevna's second husband, Pyotr Lanskoy, was a close relative of Vasilchikov. Lansky's three sisters lived in Lopasna: Maria (she was married to General Nikolai Ivanovich Vasilchikov), Elizaveta and Natalya. Sofia Alexandrovna Pushkina grew up with the children of the Vasilchikovs. After her death in 1875, nine children of the Pushkins were also brought up in the Vasilchikovs' house. For a long time, Alexander Alexandrovich himself, a participant in the Russian-Turkish War of 1877-1878, lived in Lopasna. The eldest daughter of A. S. Pushkin, Maria Alexandrovna, was very fond of visiting Lopasna.
From the architectural complex of the estate, the house and the church erected under A. S. and S. L. Vasilchikovs, respectively. The house, dating from 1770, belongs to the Elizabethan Baroque style. Originally one-story, on a high semi-basement, at the beginning of the 19th century, it was built on mezzanines. Its windows are decorated with carved frames.
Next to the Church of the Conception of St. Anne is the Pushkin family necropolis. The descendants of Alexander Sergeevich are buried in it: his eldest son A. A. Pushkin, grandchildren G. A. and S. A. Pushkins, the poet's great-granddaughter on the female side of S. P. Vorontsov-Velyaminov.
