Stud Farm, Riding Hall and Coach House Complex

Complex of the stud farm, riding hall and coach house is a striking accent of the manor. It was built in 1900 when the stud farm had to be extended. Materials of good quality were used for building the stud farm, riding hall and coach house to express the emphatic of their colour and facture. Socles were bricked from ashlars, the walls were red-bricked and the roofs were slated. The exterior of the buildings reminds us the English Gothic style, so called Gothic Revival trend. This trend spread all over the Europe in the 19th century.
A narrow and oblong stable is divided into close two-leveled abutments. Articulate lintel windows divided into small partitions, some of them are with cornices typical for English Neogothic, separate the abutments. Symmetric two-storied nibs in the middle of the pavilion are designed for utility rooms. Two rows of wooden poles divide the solid interior space of the stable into parts. They not only sustain the ceiling beams but also rail of the looseboxes. They were made of iron in London, in ‘Iron Work’ factory in 1870. the enamel feed-troughs were also made there. The interior walls of the stable were set with glazed bluish tiles. The floor was clinkered and it has not worn yet. The original equipment of water-supply and drains has also remained. Circular iron stairs installed in the left façade in the saddle room were brought here from England. There is a small house at the northern part of the building, which used serve as a lodge then. It also has got an ashlar soclar, red-bricked walls, tiling and articulate lintel windows with a cornice.
The former coach house was used as a stable and loose boxes were outfitted there and three gates were bricked on the galley side. In the overall composition the coach house was emphasized with a graceful conical gazebo and a weather cock on the gable roof. The southern slope of the roof covers a wide gallery. Rafters abut against the square wooden poles.
The riding hall is wide (60×25 m) and an original construction of glued wooden trusses with arched struts covers the building without any additional abutments. The room is light, spectator tribunes and a former G. Naryskinas’ lodges are located near the entrance. Stepped abutments and skylights ranged in similar intervals divide the monotonous building rhythmically. Decorative louvers on the ridge and pointed porch roofs exhilarate a picture.
