2 Comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Architecture, Regions, Travel
The village of Isaevo, located in the Nikolaevsky district of the Odessa region, has several interesting architectural monuments. One of them is a quite well-preserved mansion, once belonged to the landlords Kuris from Odessa.
The mansion stands on the banks of the Tiligul River. Near this place the river is dammed and forms a picturesque pond – a popular vacation spot among local residents.
The reason for the construction of this palace was the birth of the fifth child in the family of Alexander Ivanovich Kuris, and the need to expand living space. The building was completed in 1905. Today, it is occupied by Isayevsky Agricultural Lyceum. Kuris mansion on Google Maps. Photos by: mir_mak.

According to legend, their ancestors arrived from Greece in the 16th century. The first known representative of this family is the mounted Cossack of the Poltava regiment Petro Kuris (1718). Later, representatives of the Kuris family settled in different parts of the Russian Empire (mostly in today’s Russia and Ukraine), intermarrying with representatives of eminent Ukrainian and Russian families.
