| Title of the article | History of the establishment and the current state of the Invalid House on the territory of the Raifa rural settlement |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. The history of the appearance of specialized buildings for the treatment and rehabilitation of military personnel in the past, namely from the reign of Peter the Great to the period of the First World War presents a subject of scientific interest. An important point here is the participation of monasteries in providing and caring for the wounded and crippled of military operations at the initial stage of the formation of the future hospital and post-hospital treatment service, attracting former soldiers and officers to monastic life. The purpose of the study is to identify preserved objects related to our history, but undeservedly forgotten, in particular, the history of Invalid Houses in the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the role of the Raifa Monastery in the appearance of such structures on its territory, as well as the determination of the historical and cultural value of the preserved buildings belonging to the complex of the Invalid House. The objectives of the research are to search for and analyze materials related to the description of the territory of the Invalid settlement; the history of the creation of almshouses, hospitals in the Russian Empire and invalid houses for the veterans of the First World War; the identification of architectural and planning features of the construction of hospitals and almshouses in the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, as well as the influence of architectural classicist traditions on rural (wooden) architecture at the end of the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century on the territory of the Raifa settlement. Results. Field surveys of buildings located in the village of Sadovy (formerly Invalid), as well as studies of archival materials, confirmed preliminary data that these wooden buildings are part of the Invalid house, which was built on the basis of a model project. Conclusions. The obtained materials can serve as the basis for the formation of an application for the designation of a landmark site of the territory with preserved wooden buildings of the former complex of the Invalid House. |
