Kaluga, Old Market Square, No. 5.

Cultural heritage site “Ensemble of Government Offices with a Park and Trinity Cathedral”, 1796-1819.

Description:
The ensemble of Government Offices with a park and the Trinity Cathedral is a historical administrative quarter of Kaluga, the construction of which began in 1796 on the initiative of the first Kaluga governor Mikhail Nikitich Krechetnikov and according to the project of the first provincial architect Pyotr Romanovich Nikitin as part of the regular city development plan (the construction was completed under the architect I.D. Yasnygin).
The Government Offices include a number of buildings, maintained in a single style with ceremonial inset arches. The ambitious project of the administrative building complex can be called the longest building in the city, if you mentally “unfold” the structure along a single straight line and measure their total length – they are connected continuously (with the exception of the spiritual dominant of the complex, the Holy Trinity Cathedral). The ensemble has survived to this day almost unchanged.
Since the end of the 18th century and, according to tradition, today, spiritual and diocesan bodies and governing bodies, administrative and social institutions have been located here. Near one of the buildings (now the building of the Kaluga branch of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University) there was a city garden, in the place of which the Central Park of Culture and Recreation later appeared.

Completed works:
– execution of works on preservation (repair) of facades of the central building with galleries (arches) of the cultural heritage site of federal significance “Ensemble of Government Offices with a park and Trinity Cathedral, 1796-1819”;
– execution of works on restoration and adaptation for modern use of premises located on the 2nd floor of the Central Building (assigned part);
