Troekurov's Chambers

Categories / Architecture/Architectural Monuments/Mansions
TROEKUROV'S CHAMBERS (13 Sixth Line of Vasilievsky Island), an architectural monument of Peter's Baroque style. It was constructed in the first third of the 18th century for Peter the Great's stolnik (a Russian courtier inferior in rank to boyar) - A.I. Troekurov. Single-storied, it featured nine windows along the facade, was "on cellar" and had a mezzanine. Despite of posterior reconstruction, the main proportions remained unaltered. The composition is formed by a slightly protruded three-windowed corbel carrying the mezzanine of the same type. The typical details of the facade (rusticated corner projections, figured niches and window-frames; two-colour painting) were recreated following the natural remains found in the course of the reconstruction of 1968-69 (architects I.A. Bartenev, V.A. Butmi, B.N. Fedorov and M.N. Mikishatyev, fine arts historian M.V. Iogansen). The original tiled roof was steeper.
