Историческая справка
Lopukhinsky Garden (Lopukhinsky Sad) in Petrogradsky District was known as Gromovsky, Alfyorovsky and named after Dzerzhinsky before its historical name was restored. The garden is located between the Malaya Nevka River, ulitsa Akademika Pavlova and Kamennoostrovsky prospekt. Since the beginning of the 19th century the territory of the garden was occupied by landscape park of Prince Petr Vasilievich Lopukhin’s dacha which stretched over the territory from the Malaya Nevka to modern-day ulitsa Professora Popova. In the middle of the 19th century the territory passed to Vasily Fedulovich Gromov, a timber merchant, patron of the arts and philanthropist, for whom a new dacha, orchard houses and a granite pier were built there by architect Aleksey Maksimovich Gornostayev. At his dacha Gromov accommodated a picture gallery and invited artists from Mariinsky Theatre to perform there. After the Conservatory was opened, thanks to Gromov poor students could make the dacha their home. Upon the timber merchant's instructions, the park also was redesigned: this time it had bridges, fountains, pavilions and grottos.
In 1920’s the former Gromov’s dacha was turned into the Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky Club of Soviet Trade Employees, and the garden was named after Dzerzhinsky as well. In 1930 a monument to the founder of the Cheka was erected in the garden. In 1938-1961 the Leningrad television studio worked on the garden territory. In early 1990’s the garden got its historical landscaping design back.
