Историческая справка

Krasnaya Presnya recreation and entertainment park is situated on the territory of Studenets estate. In the 18th century, when the estate belonged to princes Gagarins, this location was used to create a garden with artificial “Dutch-styled” canal-ponds. After the estate changed several owners, in the 1820-30’s, thanks to Governor-General Zakrevskiy the territory got a beautiful house designed by Domenico Gillardi and monuments to heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812 by V. Stasov (now only a Tuscan column remains here, but it has been moved to a quiet remote corner of the park). In 1834, when the place was given to the state and later made part of the charitable institutions of Empress Mariya Fyodorovna, the Gardeners and Farmers Society opened a school "for educating the gardeners" here. This was the time when lots of visitors gathered in Studenets to enjoy performances and various park amusements. The historian S. Lyubetskiy mentioned a mysterious tent he had seen here, with a signboard saying "An invisible woman is shown here!” Krasnaya Presnya recreation and entertainment park itself was opened in 1932. The entrance gates built in the 1930’s were restored in 1998 by the architects A. Koroleva and N. Zhurina on the basis of an archive photo. Studenets estate was known as the “Russian Venice in the gardens” for the beauty of the Dutch park and the canal system. The curved canals still follow the park alleys and, together with graceful bridges, create picturesque landscapes.
