Abstract

The appearance and style of Russian estates in the Crimea, absorbed local architectural traditions is directly related to the problem of interaction of Russian culture with the cultures of the peoples inhabiting the country. Since the end of the XVIII century the ancient land of Crimea has attracted the attention of Russian aristocrats. They began to build their estates on the empty shores of the sea, as Tatar villages were mainly located in the depths of the Peninsula. The most important sources of forms for the manor buildings were the Crimean Tatar architectural heritage, filled with a variety of Oriental motifs, and ancient heritage, known mainly for Italian and Greek monuments. These trends continued in the architecture of the Crimea until the beginning of the XX century, providing an organic connection of folk and aristocratic homes.
