Popov Manor House
The Vasylivka Historical and Architectural Museum-Reserve "Popov Manor House" (Ukrainian: Василівський історико-архітектурний музей-заповідник «Садиба Попова», also known as Vasylivka Castle) is an established museum complex at a partly preserved manor house built between 1864 and 1884 near the town of Vasylivka, Ukraine by Vasili Popov Jr. (a grandson of General Vasili Stepanovich Popov).
The Historic and Cultural Reserve was created on 29 January 1993 in place of the existing Vasylivka museum of local history.
Its Gothic Revival design is attributed to Nicholas Benois. The main house had a telescope, a picture gallery, and an ethnographic museum. The castle was looted by the Bolsheviks and ruined by the Germans in the Second World War. Restoration works did not start until the 1990s.[citation needed]
On March 7, 2022, during the military invasion of Ukraine, the Popov Manor was fired upon by Russian troops. The arena-stable building of the Popov manor was damaged.
On March 13, 2022, the museum was looted by the Russian military. In addition to the robbery, they damaged the premises, broke the windows and broke all the doors.
On April 19, 2023, it became known that the occupiers began to remove property from the historical and architectural museum-reserve located in the building of the once famous European palace and park ensemble-estate of General Vasyl Popov, which was built in 1894. This estate was once supposed to be an alternative to the Vorontsov Palace in Alupka. According to many researchers, the author of the project of the palace complex and many of its elements was the world-famous architect Benoit. According to experts, this is a real miracle of urban planning and there are no analogues of such high-quality brickwork in Ukraine or Europe.
The lands near the future city of Oleksandrivsk were donated by Empress Catherine II to General Vasyl Popov. He became the founder of the settlement that later became the town of Vasylivka. Previously, the area was used for Cossack winter quarters and had several farms.
The general's grandson, Vasyl Popov, started a large-scale construction project in the second half of the nineteenth century. The Popov family owned the estate until the October Revolution of 1917.
