Ramon' - estate of the Oldenburgs
Svetabel:
In 1879 Princess Eugenia of Oldenburg, nee Princess Eugenia of Leuchtenberg, a daughter of GDss Maria Nikolayevna and spouse of Prince Alexander of Oldenburg, became an owner of a vast estate Ramon' not far from Voronezh (in fact Emperor Alexander II presented an estate to his niece). The mansion/castle in English style was built there in 1883-1887 years.
The castle then:
And now
I didn't find any pictures of the interiors and seems now they are all lost as from 1917 year the mansion had been a place for variuos Soviet institutions.
Svetabel:
In 1880s-1917 years the estate Ramon' was famous for its sulfitation factory. In 1907 the most of the estate lands was lapsed to the IF and the Oldenburgs kept in their own only Olgino , an estate nearby that had been built in 1901-1902 years for Prince Petr (son of Eugenia) and his wife GDss Olga Alexandrovna.
Mansion in Olgino, now it's a sanatoirum or a clinic.
Also some photos of what is left over from the estate Olgino

Svetabel, do you know any more as to how the bulk of the estate ended up "lapsed to the IF"? I'm curious as to how something like that would occur.

The Oldenburgs were heavy in debt, also the estate had been hit in the 1905-1906 years (when peasants burnt the pomestchik's arable areas and mansions). So the State (the IF) bought the bulk of Ramon'.

Two more pictures of the mansion in Ramon (castle of Princess Eugenia)

Just a month ago the castle was put up for rent and...no results of this auction. Seems no one wants to rent or buy the mansion. The locals believe the mansion is a cursed place with ghosts.
