The castle of Princess Oldenburg in the village of Ramon

On our way from Crimea, we were ahead of schedule and decided to make an unplanned stop in the workers' settlement of Ramon. Ramon is the cradle of the Russian Navy. In 1696, by decree of Peter the Great, the Romanov Shipyard was founded here, producing ships for the Azov Fleet. Work continued until 1711 and ceased after shipbuilding was transferred to the new Tavrovskaya Shipyard due to the shallowing of the Voronezh River. But that's not the topic today. Today we visited the grounds of Princess Oldenburg's castle (Oldenburg Palace), built in 1887 according to the designs of the renowned architect Heinrich von Hoffmann. The construction was commissioned by Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Oldenburg. The castle, built in the neo-Gothic style, embodies the aesthetic preferences of the time. The building served as a country residence and was used as a cultural center. Today, the castle attracts tourists with its history and architecture, preserving the spirit of a bygone era.
