Ruins and nature
The journey starts from Krasnoselsky district, where you will find an abandoned factory settlement and the ruins of the palace of Emperor Alexander I. Spend your lunch in the countryside in the coolness of a pine forest, to the sound of a murmuring stream. And don't forget to visit the nearby N.K. Roerich Manor. Wander around and find the building of the Agricultural Colony School, the Trout Tower and the ruins of the former lime factory, where giant kilns have been preserved. All this is a reminder of what the village of Izvara was like in the past.

The factory settlement in Krasnoye Selo can't be called an abandoned village of the Leningrad Region, as it has never been an independent territorial unit. But it's one of the most interesting atmospheric places that is easy to get to.
Today, the factory village is more like an American fictional town of Silent Hill in miniature. Not a single preserved window, in some places the ceilings have been destroyed, and somewhere you can see traces of fires.

Руины дворца Александра I
Historic Site
Open Details
The building itself was erected in the late 18th century. At first it was the mansion of the owner of a paper mill, but then it was converted into a palace for the emperor. After the revolution, no one dealt with the building, it was turned into an ordinary apartment building, which has been slightly modernized by adding a third floor and rebuilding the stables.
The former residence of Alexander I began to decay at the end of the 1960s. Today in its place are only ruins.

You have to spend time in silence and unity with nature. Don't rush anywhere, find your ideal spot and just be in the moment. If you are lucky with the weather, be sure to swim in the waters of the Bronnitsky quarry. Spend a picnic in nature, dream about beautiful things and go on to adventure.

Tserkov' Uspeniya Presvyatoy Bogoroditsy.
Church
Open Details
This one-domed stone church was built in the style of classicism. Later a two-tiered bell tower was added to it. The church survived the wars and destruction heroically, and this is its fifth building.
Be sure to walk to the almost abandoned quarry, which is located nearby. In it you will find six extinct kilns where limestone was mined.
The landscape is equally beautiful and mysterious in all seasons.
