The Falz-Fein crypt is a chapel-tomb on the Black Sea coast near the village of Novochernomorye, which belonged to their family from the second half of the 19th century until 1917. In 1897, Alexander Falz-Fein, the brother of Friedrich Falz-Fein, the founder of the Askania-Nova reserve, built a mausoleum with a chapel on a mound near the Round Lake, in which his wife Sophia, who died at the age of 38, was buried. The mausoleum was surrounded by a brick fence with a caretaker's house, which was also a gate.
Baron A. Falz-Fein, in his savings, opened and maintained two schools at his own expense, opened a hospital, and was an honorary justice of the peace. After the death of Alexander Ivanovich in 1908, he was also buried in the mausoleum. During the revolution of 1917, the crypt was opened, the chapel was destroyed, the fence was dismantled for building materials. Currently, the crypt is in a dilapidated state, but still impressive. From the mound, which is the only elevation in the area, a wide panorama of the sea and
Iron Port opens up.
