Abstract
The Eliseeva-Fomina estate is a unique example of manor architecture in the Leningrad region with a pronounced Art Nouveau aesthetics of the first - early second decade of the XX century, acting in its stylistic characteristics as a symbol of the new time, as an embodiment of social change. In the historical perspective it was a country estate complex, linked to the natural landscape and having a sufficiently developed planning structure and a variety of auxiliary and household buildings. The manor house and the church have been preserved to this day. These buildings are unique in their architecture, are in the spirit of the early XX century, have bright signs of style. The main house of the manor house is currently being restored by the new owner and requires further conservation work. The remaining park area of the estate needs restoration. The analysis of archive plans and field survey of the territory revealed that the successive planning structure of the manor complex has been preserved well enough and can be seen on the ground. The surrounding landscape of the manor house is not well preserved, but it requires maintenance, as not everywhere alleys along the roads have been preserved and some areas are overgrown. It is still possible to take measures to preserve the perception of the ensemble and its objects in a characteristic and authentic historical environment, to preserve the spirit of the place of a country estate of St. Petersburg province of the early XX century. The combination of unique natural conditions of the coastal zone of the Oredezh River, preserved park plantings and monuments of architecture and history could make the Belogorka estate-park complex an attractive place for recreation and excursions.
