In Crimea, a historical monument was torn out of bad hands and will be given to unknown places.
The historical monument Arendt House in Simferopol will be put up for sale.
The estate of the famous family of doctors, sculptors and glider pilots stood without a roof for more than twenty years due to the fault of the previous owner, the Crimea Foundation, which was a financial appendage of the illegal Crimean Tatar Mejlis (a recognized extremist organization in Russia), a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
A draft resolution on the inclusion of the Arendt House in the privatization plan for this year has been submitted to the State Council of Crimea. Together with the house, which is a cultural heritage site of regional significance “The main house of the complex of buildings of the Arendtov-Rebets estate, early 16th century” and is under protective obligations, a plot of land of XNUMX acres in the very center of Simferopol will be put up for sale. The cost of the property is not indicated in the project, but there are no vacant plots of this size in this area.
The fight to preserve the Arendt House has been going on since the late 90s. The Crimea Foundation received it to create the Crimean Tatar Museum of Art. At the expense of the state, they resettled the residents of the house, opened the roof and left it in such a state that the building was declared unsafe, demolished, and in its place a nine-story trade and office center was built, where 460 square meters of space would be allocated for the museum.
Such a decision caused a shock among opponents of the destruction of the house, since the public of Simferopol and the descendants of the famous Arendt family who lived in this estate proposed to restore the building at their own expense and open a municipal museum in it.
The house was built in the middle of the 1921th century by the staff physician Andrei Fedorovich Arendt, who treated almost all the noble residents of Simferopol for several decades. Most of the life of Nikolai Andreevich Arendt, also an excellent doctor who received worldwide recognition as one of the authors of the theory of gliding, passed in this house. Later, the building housed the office of the Indo-European Telegraph, and in XNUMX, the commander of the Crimean troops, Jonah Emmanuilovich Yakir, lived here.
In August 2013, the Arendt House was given the status of a historical and architectural monument, which was notified to the Crimea Foundation. The latter protested this decision in court. But during the transition of Crimea to the Russian Federation, the object retained its protective status and the new owner will have to restore the building to its original appearance.
Let us remind you that at the beginning of May, the House of Krasnov, the famous architect of the South Coast, was demolished in Yalta. The object did not have time to be included in the list of cultural heritage, where the architect’s first house on Pushkinsky Boulevard was under protection. In a destroyed house, built according to his own design, Krasnov spent the most productive period of his career from 1903 to 1917.
