Overview of the sights of the village of New World in Crimea

The Crimea peninsula has always been considered a popular resort, and today it has become even more visited. Especially popular among tourists is the village of Novy Svet, located in the southeast of the peninsula, seven kilometers from Sudak Bay. Among the travelers this village is known as the Crimean Paradise or Paradise. This is a small warm resort, located in a mountainous area filled with juniper forests. Thanks to its stunning views and good climate, it was named so beautifully.

By the way, this name was given to him by the ancient Greeks, who lived here in ancient times. Despite its small size, On the territory of the village there are many unique places, including historical and architectural monuments. In this article we will tell you about the sights of the New World in Crimea, about what exactly it is worth seeing, and what entertainment you will find there.

In different periods of royal rule, different people owned this part of the Crimea. When the peninsula was annexed to the Russian Empire, Catherine II donated this land to her subordinate B. Haller, on the condition that he cultivated a lush garden on it. But this task required large monetary investments, since the local soil was not suitable for growing flowers and trees. Galler was unable to fulfill the requirement of the Empress, and the territory was ceded to the new owner, the Prince and Major General Zakhar Semenovich Kherkheulidzev.

However, with all his efforts, Kherkheulidzev also failed. After that, in 1878, Prince Lev Golitsyn bought the land, which gave it that noble appearance. He built a manor house here and organized the production of sparkling wines, growing lush vineyards.

Today, the estate includes two buildings, a palace and the Golitsyn house-museum. The first one looks like a medieval castle. The square building has four three-story towers. The entrance to the courtyard is a huge arch in a stone wall.

The castle itself is located in the central area of ​​the village. The princely family never lived in this palace. Initially it was intended for visiting people who worked in production. Today there are hotels and shops in the castle.

Location: Golitsyn Street, 18.

The master's house, now a house-museum, was built on the outskirts of the New World. It is a one-story white building, covered with red tiles. Under the house are wine cellars area of ​​over 300 square meters. In the museum, which is today the house, you can learn the history of the peninsula, the princely family, as well as the development of winemaking.

This route is also called the Golitsyn trail, although this trail along the Eagle Mountain was laid long before its arrival.

This was done before the visit of Tsar Nicholas II, after the walk of which the trail received the name of the Tsar.

Having discovered this grotto, the prince converted it to a vault of wines, where only the best varieties were sent for aging. The grotto was spacious enough to have a stage in it. The cave acoustics made the sounds of music and singing extraordinarily beautiful.

Often it was held in secular evenings with the participation of distinguished persons and artists. Among other musicians and opera singers, Fyodor Shalyapin himself noted his performance, presenting his name to the grotto. By the way, the Shalyapin festival has been held annually on the same stage for almost twenty years.
