FEODOROVSKY SETTLEMENT, an architectural ensemble of the town of Pushkin, to the north-west from the Alexandrovsky Park. It was constructed in the Neo-Russian style on the initiative of Emperor Nicholas II and encompasses the Court Cathedral of Our Lady Fedorovskaya, the Whitestone (for the priests of the cathedral), the Pink (for deacons), the Yellow (for prichetniks (religious officials below the rank of a deacon)) and the White (for lowest religious officials) chambers, the Refectory (1913-1917, architect S.S. Krichinsky), the Ratnaya (military) chamber (1913-1917, architect S.Y. Sidorchuk) and the Church of Our Lady Fedorovskaya His Imperial Majesty’s Own Escort (essentially it was a Domestic Chapel of the Imperial Family). The architecture of the ensemble features motifs of the 17th century Moscow-Yaroslavl architecture. In the course of Feodorovsky Settlement construction, the Society of the Artistic Rus Renaissance (1915 - October of 1917) was established, its meetings took place in the Refectory Chamber (chairman Count A.A. Shirinsky-Shikhmatov, members: artists A.M.Vasnetsov and V.M. Vasnetsov, I.Y. Bilibin, M.V. Nesterov and others). When the First World War broke out, military hospital No.17 was arranged in Feodorovsky Settlement, being under the patronage of Empress Alexandra Fedorovna and the Grand Princesses (from April 1916 there S.A. Esenin did military service). In 1918, the complex of Feodorovsky Settlement was given over to the Agronomical Institute, ravaged and partially destroyed in the years of German occupation (1941-1944). Since 1976, reconstruction works have been being carried out, since 1994 Feodorovsky Settlement has been being restored as Patriarchs' Manor.
