Saburovskaya fortress

Kamensky estate
russia, Oryol
Saburovskaya fortress is the former estate of the Kamenskys, stylized as a fortress wall with towers, about 2 km long, located 10 km south-west of Orel. The owner of the estate - Field Marshal and Count Mikhail Fedotovich Kamensky at the end of the 18th century built a fortress wall as a fence for the estate, and the towers were intended for household needs. Outside the walls, on an area of ​​20 hectares, a regular park was laid out and 2 stone manor houses were built, of which the foundations have been preserved. A two-story theater was built on the territory with a drama, opera and ballet troupe, a choir and an orchestra. The entrance to the estate is marked by 2 symmetrically located glacier pyramids intended for food storage.

On the territory of the estate-fortress there is an active Church of Michael the Archangel, built by Father M.F. Kamensky - Fedot Mikhailovich in 1755. The younger Kamensky went bankrupt in the theater and in 1827 was forced to sell Saburovo. After the revolution of 1917, the estate was plundered, the northern part of the wall with 3 remaining towers and one of the three entrance gates to the estate has been best preserved to this day.

10 km from the regional center in the village of Saburovo is, perhaps, one of the unusual and little-known sights of the Orel region. This is the so-called Saburovskaya fortress. This amazing building was founded in the 18th century, which was the estate of the noble Kamensky family. Mikhail Kamensky, the hero of the Russian-Turkish war, field marshal, stylized his estate as a fortress as a monument to the victories of Russian weapons in the Russian-Turkish wars. The walls of the fortress are nothing but the fence of the estate.
