Description of the attraction
Dacha Klyachko is an architectural monument and is located in Sestroretsk. Not far from the Sestroretsk resort in 1906, a sanatorium was opened for children with tuberculosis. The sanatorium was opened under the patronage of the Board of Trustees of the Red Cross Sisters. From the emperor, permission was obtained for the allocation of a land plot from the free state lands of the "Sestroretskaya dacha", which is located between the Primorskaya railway and the lands of the arms factory. The main sponsor and at the same time the chairman of the construction commission was Kolachevskaya E. V., and when she died, her husband, and later the doctor of the sanatorium, Sergey Nikolaevich Kolachevsky, continued the activity.
The main building was one-story and stood on high pillars at the foot of a high dune, surrounded by a pine grove on all sides. Water was brought from a well, heating was stove. A bathhouse was built in 1907, and a barrack for servants in 1908. Electricity has been installed here since 1909. A little further off there was a laundry and a janitor's room. A number of outbuildings included a stable, a glacier, a barn and a stable. In 1908, in order to increase the number of beds, a neighboring plot was added to the sanatorium, including the house.
In 1908, in the depths of the territory of the sanatorium near its border for L. M. Klyachko designed by S. G. Ginger, who was a prominent master of Classicism and Art Nouveau, built a log building with an expressive volume. Roofs of different heights, interconnected by not straight lines, gave its appearance a special dynamism, which was inherent in buildings in the new style. The facade looks unique and original.
Not far from the dacha of Klyachko Ginger erected the original building of "Services at the dacha of lawyer OO Gruzenberg". These two buildings are distinguished by a successful interior layout, thoughtful appearance, and the use of advanced building materials at that time. The buildings were built in accordance with the latest hygienic, sanitary and aesthetic requirements of the time. The main tasks in their design were expediency and comfort.
The first floor of Klyachko's dacha included the doctor's office, his office, a laboratory, two people, a kitchen and a terrace next to it, a pantry, a bathroom, a bedroom, a dining room, a veranda, a vestibule, a terrace (at the entrance), a lobby. On the second floor there were balconies, three children's rooms, two guest rooms, a billiard room and a bathroom.
L. M. Klyachko was a famous practicing therapist. In A. Benois's book "My Memories" one can find confirmation of the great medical experience and excellent qualities of Klyachko. The work contains descriptions of the case when the doctor cured the seriously ill wife of the artist L. S. Bakst, and he, in gratitude, presented the doctor with his painting.
The layout of the first and second floors of the building is quite simple and rational. Lobby, three groups of premises on the ground floor: work, utility, personal, each of which has its own entrance. This building was built in 1907 for Hertzman, attorney at law, and in 1908, L. M. Klyachko. By its architecture, the building belongs to the Northern Art Nouveau style. In this style, at the beginning of the 20th century, many summer cottages were built in the Resort of St. Petersburg.
Together with the surrounding buildings along the streets of Lesnaya, Sosnovaya, Oranzhereinaya, Andreev, Gorky, Rechny lane, Sestra river embankment, the building is included in the protected zone of cultural and historical heritage monuments. Nearby is one of the parks of the Resort with centenary pine trees and larch alleys.
This complex of buildings is an architectural monument of the early 20th century. Three hundred meters from the sanatorium and dacha L. M. Klyachko platform Kurort is located.
The dacha of the famous doctor Klyachko was recognized as a monument of wooden architecture and was restored by KGIOP. After the revolution, a children's sanatorium was located at the dacha. Today, a clinical sanatorium named after V. I. Maslova for children with chronic pneumonia.
