Story [ | ]

Lesson at the school of nannies of the Imperial Orphanage. St. Petersburg, 1913. Photo by K.K. Bulla

In the Orphanage, orphans were given not only food and shelter, but also a profession. Here the foundations of female pedagogical education were laid: classes were created for the training of governesses, mentors, teachers of music, languages, and kallistenia (physical education). In 1837, the classes were reorganized into the Orphan Institute, which received the name of Emperor Nicholas I in 1855. For girls from families of various ranks, the Alexandrinsky Orphan Institute was created, which in 1905 became the first women's vocational school to train nannies, milliners, and teachers for elementary schools of various ranks.

In 1903, on the basis of commercial pedagogical courses, the Orphanage was established (since 1912 - the Imperial House). He trained subject teachers for gymnasiums. This institute became the country's first state higher education institution for women.

	Object of cultural heritage of Russia of federal significance reg. No. 781520386240006(EGROKN) object No. 7810587004(Wikigida DB)

The main territory of the university occupies most of the block bounded by Nevsky Prospekt, Kazanskaya Street, Gorokhovaya Street and the Moika River embankment (postal address - Moika River embankment, 48).

Currently, there are two entrances to the main territory - from Kazanskaya Street and from the embankment of the Moika River at the intersection with Gorokhovaya Street. Entry is via electronic passes.

On Moika, 48, buildings of various eras (Baroque, early classicism, Empire, late classicism) are among the most mature monuments of the corresponding periods in the history of architecture. The architectural complex has an original picturesque appearance thanks to the free, asymmetrical arrangement of architectural structures, monuments, and park compositions. The complex of buildings occupied by Herzen University is included in the UNESCO list of world heritage sites under international protection.

Separate faculties of Herzen University are located in other places in the city.

Main building [ | ]

The main building of the university - the palace of K. G. Razumovsky - is located at Moika embankment, 48 (architects A. F. Kokorinov, Wallen-Delamot). Since 1797, the palace housed the St. Petersburg Orphanage, since 1834 - an orphanage department (since 1837 - Nikolaev Orphan Institute), since 1918 - a pedagogical institute (now the Russian State Pedagogical University named after A. I. Herzen).

The entire second floor of the building is pierced by a corridor, the walls of which are decorated with paintings dedicated to the past of the orphanage (mainly landscapes). The extensions of the corridor form three halls - Trustee's, Imperial and Rector's (from north to south). These halls contain portraits of people who played a significant role in the formation and development of the Orphanage, the Leningrad Pedagogical Institute, and Herzen University.

Today the Razumovsky Palace, according to the university’s internal numbering, is building 5 (also known as the “main building”). Now the building houses the university administration and some services. Scientific conferences, congresses, and round tables are held in the main halls of the palace. The ceremony of presenting honorary diplomas to the best graduates takes place here every year.

Between building 5 and Kazanskaya street there is the “Old” garden. When, after the revolution, all the buildings on the Moika were occupied by a higher educational institution, here in the Old Garden, in a small two-story outbuilding, a children's center (orphanage) functioned for several more years, then a building was built on this site where the specialized Children's Home No. 10 was located At the beginning of the 21st century, the dilapidated building was demolished and in its place in the garden a modern electrical substation was built, copying the appearance of the outbuilding.

On the side of Kazanskaya Street, the garden is limited by a lattice designed by A. N. Voronikhin and which is part of the ensemble of Kazanskaya Square.

Other buildings on the Moika[ | ]

Houses 50 and 52

The neighboring buildings (Moika embankment, 50 and 52) are also buildings of the former Petersburg Orphanage. House 50 was built in 1750-1753 according to the design of F.-B. Shot for the wealthy merchant G. Kh. Stegelman. In 1764, Stegelman's house was purchased by the treasury. In 1765-1768 the building was rebuilt in the classicist style according to the design of the architect Antonio Rinaldi. Later, the main building and side wings were built on, the Stegelman house and the Razumovsky palace were connected by a three-story building, and extensions were made on the garden side.

The building at number 52 was built at the beginning of the 19th century and acquired for the Orphanage in 1834. Rebuilt in 1943 according to the design of the architect P. S. Plavov. In front of the building in 1868, a bust of Ivan Ivanovich Betsky was installed - an enlarged copy made by sculptor A. P. Lavretsky from the original by Ya. I. Zemelgak (1803).

Behind houses 50 and 52 there is “Mama’s Garden”. According to some information, it got its name from the fact that nannies and “mothers” walked here with the young pupils of the Orphanage; according to others, the name came from the fact that it was to this garden that poor families brought unwanted newborn children, so that they would be kept and raised in the Orphanage.

Other buildings in St. Petersburg[ | ]
