GOLDEN AGE" IN THE ARCHITECTURE OF MANOR BUILDINGS KURSK PROVINCE 1st HALF of the XVIII - 2nd HALF of the XIX CENTURY

Abstract

The research is based on identified archival and printed sources, as well as on-site research by the author, which allows us to reconstruct the architecture of lost and preserved fragments of noble and merchant estates in the territory of the Russian border region during the "Golden age" of the Russian estate. The scientific novelty of the research is associated with the author's expeditions to identify signs of existence and field survey of a number of preserved manor complexes that did not previously attract the attention of researchers. Of particular importance is the identification of archival and printed sources that allow us to reconstruct more reasonably the figurative and material structure of the lost elements of noble and merchant estates. The special significance of the completed complex research work is due to the possibility to fill in the gaps in the study of important pages of the history of national and regional Russian culture, which were reflected in the formation of regional features of construction techniques and imagery of architectural ensembles of estates in the Kursk region.
