However, it is here that the only neo-Gothic monument in the region is located - the castle of the Princess of Oldenburg. This is a luxurious palace estate from the late 19th century. has been perfectly preserved to this day and is considered one of the most romantic places in the Black Earth Region. It belonged to Evgenia Maximilianovna Romanovskaya, who at one time married Prince Alexander of Oldenburg and had family ties with the Romanov family. In order to be called a full-fledged castle, this estate does not have a wall or a moat, but it really looks like a fairy-tale princess’s castle: turrets, carved gates and other beauty.

    Castle of Princess of Oldenburg

    The “heart” of Ramoni and its main attraction is the castle of Princess of Oldenburg, famous throughout the Voronezh and neighboring regions. The building, which is still more suited to the name “palace,” was built at the end of the 19th century in the Old English style. Emperor Alexander II donated the Ramona lands along with the peasants for the wedding of his relative Evgenia Maximilianovna Romanovskaya, Duchess of Leuchtenberg and Prince Alexander Petrovich of Oldenburg. Later, the active woman turned this estate into an advanced farm for that time and made Ramon famous throughout the area.

In a small area, its creators managed to place clay products dating back to 3-2 millennia BC. e., and traditional clay toys of the 19th-20th centuries, and modern ceramics. Here, probably due to the lack of exhibition space in the village, there is an exhibition telling about the creation and evolution of the Russian three-line rifle. Its author, a native of Ramon S.I. Mosin, has a monument erected in the center of the village.

    Address: Voronezh region

    Ramonurban-type settlement, center of Ramonsky district, Voronezh region. For the first time this name, tied to a given area, is mentioned in documents written as early as before the founding of the city of Voronezh. In one of the books of guard service, Russian people who served as guards on the southern outskirts of the Moscow state were ordered in 1571 to travel from the tract to the Don Krivoy Bor (where now ) “to the left from Voronezh [river] to the ancient settlement Romnya , to the swamp and to the well 6 miles.” During these travels, people saw only a settlement, that is, the remains of some ancient settlement that retained its name. This settlement itself could have arisen here, between the Don and Voronezh rivers, at the end of the 11th or beginning of the 12th century during the period of the Slavs moving here from the Chernigov land. The name of some ancient Chernigov settlement was also brought from those places (in its place there is now Romny town, Sumy region ).

    Settlement Romnya between the Don and Voronezh rivers it was destroyed during the Tatar-Mongol invasion in the 13th century. But after 1571, when people came here for guard duty, it did not remain empty for long. Soon after the founding of Voronezh, at the end of the 16th century, a village populated by service people appeared here. It began to be called after the town - Ramon. It is possible that the village received its new name from the word “ Ramenier ", which V.I. Dahl interprets it as “ village, village under the forest ».

    And according to the “Watch Book” of 1615, a village with a church is already listed here. This document states: " Village Ramon on the river in Voronezh for the landowners, in the village the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker of wood, dumplings, arable land, arable church land five quarters, and a wild field five quarters, wallpaper, arable land and a wild field ten quarters in the field, and in two therefore; there is twenty kopecks of hay on the river on the Don, on both sides of the Don, and along the river along Burovlenka, and the forest is distributed to the entire village.”

    In 1670 the inhabitants Ramoni participated in the repair of fortifications in the city of Voronezh - towers and walls. In 1697, a shipyard was built in Ramon, where ships were built by decree of Peter the Great. Built here in 1840 sugar factory - one of the oldest in the Voronezh region.

    During Soviet times since 1928 Ramon was the center Berezovsky district , since 1938 she Urban-type settlement , since 1965 - center of the newly created Ramonsky district.

    In 1849, S.I. was born in Ramon. Mosin - creator of the Russian three-line rifle (died 1902). A monument was erected to him in his homeland.

    A native of the village is Hero of the Soviet Union P.T. Tutukov.

    Ramoni has one well-known attraction - Palace of Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Oldenburg . Built in 1883, it is built in the Old English style, stands on a high and prominent position and attracts the attention of many people who come to Ramon.

    History of the village of Ramon

    Ramon appeared on the map of the Russian state four centuries ago, as evidenced by documents dated 1613. It is also known that the settlement arose on the site where from the 11th to the 13th centuries the village of Rodnya was located, which was founded here by settlers from the Chernigov land. After the devastation by hordes of Mongol-Tatars, the area was desolate until the beginning of the 17th century.

    An important milestone in the development of the village was the decree of Peter I on the construction of a shipyard in Ramon. From 1696 to 1711, small warships were built here. At the end of the 18th century, the village became the property of retired captain Ivan Tulinov. In 1840, his son Nikolai founded a beet sugar factory here, which later became a fairly large and highly profitable enterprise. After his death, Ramon more than once became the object of litigation, until in 1879 it became the property of the royal Romanov dynasty in the person of Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Oldenburg, née Princess Romanovskaya, niece of Alexander II.

    It was thanks to the princess, famous for her enterprise, extravagance and charity, that Ramon became a prosperous village, and the luxurious family castle built on her initiative turned into a cult place for the entire Russian aristocracy.

    Unlike many Russian landowners, Princess Eugenie was actively involved in the development of the village that belonged to her. She had a sweet tooth, but decided to import steam engines from Europe rather than sweets, creating her own confectionery factory in Ramon that produced sweets famous throughout the Russian Empire. The factory produced more than 400 types of confectionery products. Ramona chocolates were served at the royal table and exported to European capitals. Sugar for sweets was produced here, at our own sugar factory.

    The owner of the estate built a well-equipped hospital, a canteen, and a public school for the residents of Ramon, and took them under her care. Her Highness also established a scholarship for local students sent to study at universities in the empire. Not so long ago, grateful descendants named the village lyceum after Princess Oldenburg, and the palace annually hosts ceremonial presentations of certificates and graduation ceremonies.

    In 1895, an experimental production station was founded at the Ramoni sugar factory, which continued its work after the establishment of Soviet power. Since 1938, Ramon has the status of an urban village.

    Ramon is also known for its famous natives. Among them are the once popular Soviet TV presenter Eleonora Belyaeva, who hosted the “Music Kiosk” program for 30 years, the outstanding small arms design engineer Sergei Mosin, and the director of the cult film “Gentlemen of Fortune” Alexander Sery.

    Sights of Ramoni

    Ramoni's calling card and the most famous landmark of the entire Voronezh region is the Oldenburg castle complex. This outstanding landscape and architectural creation is the only palace complex in the Central Black Earth region of Russia, the owners of which were related by blood ties to the Russian imperial family.

    The German family of Oldenburg is a branch of the ancient Holstein-Gottorp dynasty, which at different periods of history belonged to the thrones in Denmark and Greece, Norway and Sweden. The Oldenburgs became related to the Romanovs back in the time of Peter I, when his daughter Anna married the nephew of the Swedish king Charles XII. The title of Princess of Oldenburg was also given to the owner of Ramoni, Princess Eugenia, granddaughter of Nicholas I and niece of Alexander II, after marrying Prince Alexander of Oldenburg. It was to her taste that the Ramon estate, which belonged to the couple, was arranged. The dominant feature of the castle buildings was a palace with unique architecture for these places, which, fortunately, is well preserved and is the most attractive place on tourist routes in the Voronezh region.

    The princess invited a German architect to build the palace. Unfortunately, there is no reliable information about who exactly was the author of the project, but many local historians believe that the project was developed by Ferdinand Miller. The architect designed the castle in the neo-Gothic style, characteristic of European architecture of that time. Construction and interior decoration were completed in 1887.

    A massive gate with two towers of different heights leads to the estate. A room was also built here where the retinue accompanying the guests was supposed to stay - the Suite Corps. In one of the towers (the higher one) there is a clock made by Swiss craftsmen, custom-made specifically for the estate in Ramon. The passage of another hour was announced throughout the area by the sound of bells. The round dial is placed above the pointed window and faces the palace. The structure is crowned with a decorative watchtower with a narrow circular balcony.

    Then the carriages drove along a wide alley paved with stone, illuminated in the evenings by lanterns stylized as medieval ones and hanging on cast-iron pillars, turned around the green lawn and stopped at the main entrance to the palace, marked by a Gothic pointed semi-arch and granite steps hospitably protruding from the facade.

    The building is made of high-quality red-burgundy brick, which has been resistant to rain and frost for the second century. Narrow high windows and facades are set off by elegant white jagged cornices, the roof is decorated with turrets and massive chimneys of fireplaces and stoves, also trimmed with white edging. The balconies are fenced with black patterns of wrought iron bars.

    The illustrated “Guide to Picturesque Places of Russia,” published at the end of the 19th century, describes the Oldenburgs’ Ramon estate as “a most charming corner worthy of the attention of the leisure traveler.” At the magnificent palace, built “with great taste and grace,” a menagerie was built, located in the forest on the opposite bank of the Voronezh River. The author of the guidebook advised visitors to definitely visit the exotic Japanese pavilion and exemplary stables, admire the surrounding landscapes from the windows of the gate towers, look into the “excellently organized school for peasant children,” take a walk in the landscape park, and explore the artificial grotto with a waterfall.

    A cozy guest outbuilding was built in the park, with a paved path leading to it through a wrought iron bridge. An observation deck was also built here, from where a beautiful view of the castle and the expanses of the Voronezh River valley opens to this day.

    The thick curtains of ivy climbing along the façade at the main entrance gave the castle a special charm. The estate had apple orchards separated by linden alleys. Famous guests enjoyed staying in Ramon, among them the brother of Emperor Nicholas II, Grand Duke Constantine, who gained fame as a talented poet.

    Like any castle, Oldenburg Palace is shrouded in mystical legends, and it was they that became the impetus for the revival of the historical landmark, which fell into complete disrepair in the 80-90s of the last century. In the late 90s, journalists specializing in the then fashionable topics of paranormal phenomena and the history of the Romanov dynasty glorified Ramon on the central channels of Russia. Curious travelers began to come here more and more often, to which the tourism industry first responded, and then the regional authorities, who reasonably assessed the potential of the historical landmark.

    Since 2006, work began to restore the landscape and architectural appearance of the castle complex. Today, tourists can admire the restored façade and stroll through the territory of the palace park, which has been cleared of density and arranged in accordance with classical canons. Here guests are greeted by neatly trimmed trees and shrubs, and in the garden adjacent to the park there are charming bright flower beds and stone-paved paths.

    Restoration of the interior of the palace is progressing slowly, but, nevertheless, excursions around the castle are very informative. Their cost is 150 rubles for adults and 60 rubles for children.

    Not far from the Oldenburg Palace there is another historical landmark of Ramoni - the Olgino estate. It was furnished by the son of Eugenia and Alexander of Oldenburg, Peter, after his wedding to Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, daughter of Emperor Alexander III. Pyotr Alexandrovich was famous for his innovation in the field of agriculture, and Olga Alexandrovna was known for her charitable activities, as well as for the fact that during the First World War she worked in front-line hospitals as a nurse.

    The palace in Olgino and the adjacent complex of outbuildings, where premises for a hospital were built in Soviet times, today, unfortunately, are in a deplorable state. The once luxurious park is overgrown, and lonely statues continue to crumble in its wilds. But if you follow the narrow path to the end of the former palace, you will find yourself in a place that offers a very nice view of the surrounding area.

    In Ramoni you can visit the ceramics museum. Clay products found by archaeologists in the vicinity of the village are exhibited here. They date back to the 3rd-2nd centuries BC. e. Also on display at the museum are traditional ceramic toys created in the 19th and 20th centuries, and modern ceramics produced at a local factory. There is also a small exhibition telling about the creation and evolution of the Russian three-line rifle, developed by Ramon native Sergei Mosin. A monument to Mosin, a major general of the Russian army, is erected in the center of the village.

    Camping

    The surrounding area of ​​Ramoni has long been famous for its dense deciduous and pine forests. The Oldenburg family often organized outdoor picnics for their guests, but their main entertainment was horseback riding and hunting. Today, hunting in these protected lands is prohibited, but you can “arm yourself” with a camera and go on an excursion to the Voronezh Biosphere Reserve, adjacent to the outskirts of Ramon. Ecological trails laid out for tourists lead to an arboretum, a beaver nursery, and enclosures with animals. This unique reserve is home to foxes, wild boars, wolves, moose, and deer. Active travelers and children will find it interesting to spend time at the Ezhkiny Paths rope park. Three routes have been developed here: children’s (70 rubles), for the whole family (150 rubles), extreme (250 rubles).

    In the summer, Ramon turns into a mini-resort: summer residents and romantic tourists come here with tents, which they set up right on the banks of the Voronezh River with its natural sandy beaches.

    Vacationers demanding comfort can stay at one of the camp sites, which are located along the banks of the river and deep in the forest. Among them is the Lesnaya Skazka recreation center. Here you can stay in stylized cottages with varying levels of comfort. The cost of living is from 800 rubles per person per day (meals are not included).

    The Path to Yourself hotel, located right on the river bank, near the forest, is popular. Here you can stay in a frame building or a cottage. The cost of living in a standard double room is from 3,000 rubles per day. This amount includes three meals a day.

    In summer, in Ramon and its surroundings, daytime temperatures range from +23 °C to +27 °C, although June is often rainy. In winter, severe frosts are rare.

    Many tourist centers operate all year round; for the May holidays and New Year holidays, places need to be booked in advance.

    Cultural events

    In July, the jazz festival “Estate JAZZ” is held in Ramon. Musicians from different countries perform on the territory of the Oldenburg Palace complex in the open air.

    For the second year in a row, the All-Russian event “Cinema Night” is taking place within the walls of the palace. In 2017, documentaries dedicated to the Imperial House of Romanov were shown here.

    Periodically, poetry evenings and photo exhibitions are held in the castle.

    Where to eat deliciously

    A hundred meters from the palace, the cafe “At the Countess” awaits you. The menu includes snacks, hot dishes of Russian and European cuisine, and a variety of drinks. Prices are affordable. If you wish, we can serve you a table for two. For organized groups, set meals are prepared here upon request from tour operators. The cafe is open daily from 11:00 to 23:00.

    Full lunches are offered by the Marka cafe, located in the building of the Kolos cinema (center, 50th Anniversary of the Komsomol Street, 3). The highlight of the menu is original desserts and exclusive confectionery. The cafe is closed on weekends; on weekdays the establishment is open from 10:00 to 18:00.

    Visitors can use the Ramon catering canteen and the small Voyage cafe.

    I am powerless not to express in words,

    How does your soul rest?

    How welcoming it is under your roof

    And how good your Ramon is.

    She is beautiful in the distance of the forest,

    And a palace over a steep cliff,

    Nice as a quiet river,

    And the free expanse of the steppe.

    Grand Duke K.K. Romanov

    I think a short excursion to another small, quiet corner Voronezh region - village Ramon will be of interest to people who, like us once, are caught up in “wanderlust” and, I think, not only to them. Our dacha in the village of Bolshaya Vereyka, where we spent our holidays, was located not far from the regional center Ramon.

    So, Ramon– PGT (urban-type settlement) administrative center Ramonsky an area with a population of only about 10 thousand people, located 30 km north of the capital of the Black Earth Region, on the right bank of the Voronezh River, almost on the border with the Lipetsk region. The settlement has a long history, arose at the end of the 16th century, and at the direction of Peter the Great, a shipyard was built in Ramon at the end of the 17th century.

    The main attraction of Ramoni, which has made her famous not only in the region, but also far beyond its borders, is Oldenburg Castle, built here in 1887 by Emperor Alexander II during his reign for his niece Princess Eugenia Romanovskaya, Duchess of Leuchtenberg (by her husband, Princess of Oldenburg) as a wedding gift, named in her honor and preserved to this day.

    It was this noble lady, known for her charity, educational work, and highly artistic taste, who gave development to the village, turning it into a cozy corner unprecedented for those times with a confectionery factory, a school for rural children, a hospital, a canteen, a water tower, cobbled streets and even a railway line .

    After the revolution, various services were located in the princes' chambers at different times: a museum, a sugar factory administration, a hospital, and warehouses. There are legends that during the war, the Germans, knowing about the history of the castle, refused to bomb it and the palace served as a refuge for the local population.

    Today Oldenburg Palace- a great rarity for the Russian outback, a brick neo-Gothic monument, is a historical monument of federal significance and since 2000, restoration work has been carried out in it, with immediate access for excursions to its interiors. I don’t know how things are now, perhaps the work has already been completed or is moving toward completion.

    It must be said that the Emperor of All Rus' Alexander II had good taste; the place chosen for the estate and the future manor house was exceptional in natural terms. The proximity of the green massif of coniferous and deciduous forests of the Voronezh Nature Reserve with its squirrels and beavers, the Voronezh River with a fast current, and therefore still with clean waters, once navigable, currently its expanses are plied only by fishing boats, pleasure yachts, kayaks of athletes who performed summer training .

    A comfortable sandy beach, coastal shallows overgrown with reeds and water lilies, an rugged landscape - wonderful places for solitude, fishing, picnics...

    There is almost no industry in the village; the sugar factory, known throughout the country and one of the first in Russia, was closed in the 90s. Today there is a food processing plant, a ceramics factory, a confectionery and poultry farm, a branch of Agrokhimprom, located outside the village, furniture and construction shops.

    The pride of the village is the Research Institute of Sugar Beet and Sugar, the Research Institute of Plant Protection.

    Modern Ramon- a surprisingly quiet village with unusually green alleys, gardens and a large park in the very center of the settlement, quite clean and spacious, practically consisting of a private one-story building with cozy, carefully maintained streets.

    There is a microdistrict with high-rise buildings, but it is located a little further from the center.

    Unique natural conditions, proximity to the Don highway, to Voronezh, less than 500 km from Moscow - all this attracts wealthy people here to develop recreation areas and have a wonderful pastime with hunting and fishing. Vacant lands are being bought up and built up, but due to the small scale of the work and weak competition in construction, housing prices are high: good-quality Ramoni cottages are priced equal to housing on the Black Sea coast. And what? Perhaps this is justified.

    The distance from the metropolis is only 30 km, and taking into account the fact that Voronezh is rapidly being built up in the northern direction, as if trying to reunite with the Golden Dome itself, in exactly ten years, Ramon will become a nearby suburb of Voronezh. Considering the proximity of Voronezh City - Grad Park - a shopping center of regional significance, the village is perceived even closer. Excellent bus service every 20-30 minutes, excellent highway, allows you to cover the distance in just half an hour. Therefore, residents of Ramon don’t have to worry about work: they can find it in the city if they want.

    The way of life in Ramoni is almost rural: people wake up early, from 5-6 o'clock in the morning the doors of markets and shops open, and after lunch they are closed. The market is small, devoid of its attractiveness, villagers do not bring their goods here from the nearest villages: why, if there is a metropolis nearby, where everything will be sold out faster and more expensive.

    We enjoyed visiting the regional center on business, just swimming in the river, and, of course, we dreamed of eventually settling there. But, unfortunately, at that time, with the finances we had, it was too tough for us. We bought a new house in Ramon, but for the same money we were offered houses from the last century.

    So for those who keenly peer at the geographical map and pack their suitcases, it may be worth taking a closer look at Ramoni, provided there are sufficient funds. After all, the dream of living in a quiet, cozy settlement, in a village near the city, is close not only to the princes of Oldenburg :)

    Dream, because as you know, dreams come true! 🙂

    RAMON(original name - Romon), working village, center of the Ramonsky district.

    Ramon was founded at the end of the 16th century by service people. V.P. Zagorovsky suggested the existence in this place of the ancient Russian settlement of Romon in the 11th-12th centuries, destroyed by the Tatars.

In 1803, the stone St. Nicholas Church was built, in 1840 - a sugar factory, which belonged to the Tulinov family, then Shele. In 1900, a steam candy and chocolate factory was built, known for the quality and range of products outside of Russia.

    RAMON, working village, center of the Ramonsky district.

    For the first time this name, tied to a given area, is mentioned in documents written before the founding of the city of Voronezh. In one of the books of guard service, Russian people who served as guards on the southern outskirts of the Moscow state, in 1571, were ordered to travel from the tract to the Don of Krivoy Bor (where the village of Krivoborie is now) “to the left from the Voronezh (river) to the Romnya settlement, to the swamp and to the well 6 versts”. During these travels, people saw only a settlement, that is, the remains of some ancient settlement that retained its name. This settlement itself could have arisen here, between the Don and Voronezh rivers, at the end of the 11th or beginning of the 12th century during the period of resettlement of Slavs from Chernigov land to our area. The name of some ancient Chernigov settlement was also brought from those places (in its place is now the city of Romny, Sumy region).

    The settlement of Romnya between the Don and Voronezh rivers was destroyed during the Tatar-Mongol invasion in the 13th century. But after 1571, when people came here for guard duty, it did not remain empty for long. Soon after the founding of Voronezh, at the end of the 16th century, a village populated by service people appeared here. It began to be called after the settlement - Ramon. And according to the “Watch Book” of 1615, a village with a church is already listed here. This document says: “The village of Ramon on the river in Voronezh for the landowners, in the village the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker of trees, dumplings, arable land, plowed church land five quarters, and a wild field five quarters, wallpaper, arable land and a wild field ten quarters in the field, and in two because; There is twenty kopecks of hay on the river on the Don, on both sides of the Don, and along the river along Burovlenka, and the forest is distributed to the entire village.”

    In 1670, residents of Ramon participated in the repair of fortifications of the city of Voronezh - towers and walls.

    In 1697, a shipyard was built in Ramon, where ships were built by order of Peter I. In 1840, a sugar factory was built here - one of the oldest in the Voronezh region.

    During the years of the first Russian revolution, the working class of Ramoni opposed the oppressors. In October 1905, sugar factory workers went on strike. A military team was sent here to suppress these protests. A few days later, sugar warehouses and a sawmill burned down here. In May - June 1906, workers of the sugar factory and candy factory held meetings and rallies. They discussed the issue of creating a trade union of confectionery production workers, and adopted a resolution on their relationship to the State Duma. Bolsheviks from Voronezh attended the meetings.

    During the years of Soviet power, since 1928, Ramon was the center of the Berezovsky district, since 1938 it has been an urban-type settlement, since 1965 - the center of the newly created Ramonsky district.

    Ramon has one well-known attraction - the palace of Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Oldenburg. Built in 1883, it is built in the Old English style, stands on a high and prominent position and attracts the attention of many people who come to Ramon.
