🏛 Colonnade Mausoleum Temple

Красногорск, пос. Архангельское

A white rotunda-colonnade of the 1910s, conceived as a family mausoleum, at the edge of the park above the river.

The mausoleum was built in 1909–1916 to a design by Roman Klein with the participation of Grigory Barkhin and Alexei Chichagov.
It was begun after the death in a duel in 1908 of 25-year-old Prince Nikolai Yusupov, the elder brother of Felix Yusupov.
Nikolai Yusupov's body was never moved to the Colonnade: he remained in the grave by the Church of the Archangel Michael.
The interiors were decorated by the artist Ignaty Nivinsky, who in those same years restored the palace murals.
The Colonnade, together with the palace, is shown on a Bank of Russia silver coin of 2009.
