Estate of James Bruce

James Bruce

Very sorry, but when the followers of Peter Earl has not got a place at court, though no one insisted on his resignation. However, James Bruce removed from the policy, submits his resignation and moved to his beloved estate near Moscow, which he acquired as a young. The estate wore a pleasant HOMESTEAD title "Glinka". It was a pity not Bruce to leave the dank Petersburg, because the property was in the heart of a natural beauty, and not far from the ancient Russian capital.

But that's strange: the stories of the local population and the inhabitants of the nearby village Glinkovo, began to occur in these places unusual things. The house master was surprised the peasants as its strange appearance, it was built in the at that time trendy style – the Italian Baroque. Stucco, gold monogram, symmetry, and grace seemed very strange against the background of Russian birch forests and ramshackle peasant houses.

Legends and mysteries

And besides, idiots, in the opinion of the peasants, and the count himself. For example, many of them were amazed at his habit at night to climb to the roof of his house, choose the highest place for a long time and looking at something in the sky using cumbersome pipe. Of course, now it is obvious that Graf was only interested in astronomy, but for farmers this was incomprehensible.

So, if suddenly there would be a drought or a storm, the people believed that this count-the magician is doing is wrong. What legends have arisen, associated with the name of James Bruce, some of the stories do not add up the locals. By the way, these stories are later sounded in the courtyard, the earth as we know, is full of rumours. The witnesses shared his impressions about the fact that Bruce had ridden iron dragon and hovered it under the clouds, the cotton of his palms in the Park began to play the heavenly music, and continued it also in his command.

And even when Bruce died, his fame was buzzing for a long time. According to some sources, the dead count is the wizard even after death has wandered on your property and scare the new owners or the local population. Strange to say, but those owners, who got the estate of Bruce "Glinka" subsequently, whether inspired by these legends, or really seeing something strange, he ordered to destroy all of the sculptural group on the estate. But the state Park was once famous for his suave and antique statues. The sculpture had not been sold or destroyed, get rid of them very sophisticated. Some were bricked up in the walls, some were loaded at the bottom of the pond. Is not it strange? According to some legends, which are in abundance go in these places, very scared new owners of that statue at night had come to life.

And again, people say so, but since Bruce started strongly to take revenge on the new owners of their land. Appeared to them at night in the image of the disembodied spirit in the corridors were heard creaks and moans - all in the tradition of English fairy tales about ghosts. Had a new master, Yes mistress to move in the farthest nook of the house.

To date, fans of mysticism still flock to the building of the estate, some vacationers at the sanatorium that there now is, they say, that the graph can be seen today. But Oh how true these stories, it is difficult to judge. Estate of James Bruce in Glinki and now holds many mysteries and secrets.

“the Cabinet of curious things”

James Bruce, "warlock", was also a polyglot, no wonder it was listed at the court and carried out diplomatic functions. He perfectly knew six foreign languages. And in Russian (Russian for it was not the native language) spoken without any accent.

At the end of XVII century, Peter the Great is known to have organized a Great Embassy to Europe. This trip was attended by over two hundred people, mostly young people, who should understand the science and craft, especially ships. In addition, the king has commanded the purchase of equipment and to hire various artists and craftsmen. Count Bruce young Peter himself calls, staying in Holland. He needed was the count for an upcoming trip to England, because Bruce knew languages and was very knowledgeable about the rules of etiquette at the English court. But Bruce arrives very late, also looks very painful, his hand was covered in burns, and the phalanges fused after numerous fractures. It was because of a quarrel in court the chief of secret orders. It was he who ordered to torture a talented scientist Bruce with a hot iron. Peter was so angry that the descriptions of contemporaries, to appease his wrath it was impossible. He wrote to Romodanovsky, the letter he openly angry with the boss of secret orders. This proves how much he valued the work and personality of James Bilimovich.

His baby was “the Cabinet of curious things’, has not been equal throughout the country. It was a real Museum with all sorts of rarities at home. After the count died, his “office” it was decided to move to the most famous Museum in Russia at that time – a "Cabinet of curiosities".

Architectural features of the manor

The estate can rightly be called the oldest in all the suburbs. Estates in Moscow region – it is generally an interesting sight, but this place truly special. The house of the Bruce is preserved in excellent condition because tourists will be very interesting to visit those places. Outside the manor "Glinka" very typical of its time, this elegant and luxurious Baroque (although there were unusual features for the style). But the interior will make surprise even the seasoned traveler. The fact that James Bruce (manor "Glinka" and its contents wasn't it) always thought of himself as not so much a landlord as a man of science. Almost every room of the huge house was converted into a laboratory or office for scientific work. It was there that he was engaged in research in physics, chemistry, mathematics, natural science, astronomy and so on. All your money, and the salaries the count was decent, he preferred to spend on equipment, books, instruments and the like. This, perhaps, explains why the master at the time each is considered abnormal, and some even attributed to him magical abilities. For the eyes he has got many nicknames, but most of all stuck Reclusive nobleman.

James Bruce Glinka's manor

Of Course, wizard! What else can one summer day, when all the signs were supposed to be debilitating heat, take, and freeze the ponds? And then another to put on strange fit on my feet and skate on frozen water? And the view of the main building, perhaps, only reinforced the opinion of the peasants on this account. Bruce was a native of Scotland, perhaps because the first floor of his house is very reminiscent of a Scottish medieval castle, at the sleek hewn stones grey shade. This gave the building a slightly sinister look, and some hewn stones in the dark seemed scary face demonic creatures.

Generally, the estate "Glinka" created in the Baroque style, rich and luxurious, came to Russia from hot Italian. Absolute symmetry, even shape, and location of outbuildings, a magnificent parkland with a pond in the center and antique statues, which met walking along the cobbled paths. They resembled characters from ancient Greek legends, Bruce loved art in all its manifestations. But what happened to the statues that you already know.

However, the building itself also very seriously injured. The fact that in those places there was a strong fire in the XIX century the building could not be saved, preserved in its original form only the storeroom and the laboratory of Bruce. Everything else you can see in the reconstruction.

Count

The Estate "Glinka" refers to the Palace and Park mind of architectural art. Walking through it, you will be able to see two extant stone complex. One can be called main, and the other economic.

The House is difficult to name a large. For the noble estate he has a verymodest size, on the bottom lies a rectangular form. The building, though elegant in design, but for classical Baroque very restrained in decoration. There are pieces of arched portals, pilasters, drawing on the frames. In addition, you can see a demon-like faces carved into the stones of the first floor. The main floor has an open loggia, where the Earl liked to breathe air, and at night to admire the starry sky. Roof support if the rows of slender columns and is crowned by this beauty of a small turret of wood, where the Earl and made his astronomical discoveries.

"Laboratory Bruce."

From what has reached us in Pervushina, clearly stands out so-called Laboratory of Bruce, it is still customary to call Peter's house. It is here that tourist and need to go first, because the spectacle is very entertaining. In fact, it is a small pavilion, which itself complements the manor space. Decorative it is very reminiscent of what you might see in Peterhof. Arched niches along the perimeter of the external walls kept the space for statues, white pilasters and capitals.

Inside is not allowed, and not worth it to strive, perhaps because everything of value from this laboratory, as mentioned earlier, were exported to St. Petersburg, the Museum complex "Kunstkamera".
