Sanduny

Sandunоvskie Baths (Russian: Сандуновские бани) or Sandunу (Сандуны́, IPA: [səndʊˈnɨ]) is a cultural and architectural landmark in downtown Moscow, located at 14 Neglinnaya street adjacent to the Central Bank of Russia.

First opened in 1808, the baths were founded by and named after the Georgian businessman Sila Sandunov (Zandukeli) (1756–1820), who was once an actor at the court of Catherine II during the 1790s.

In 1894, Ganetsky hired a well-known architect Boris Freidenberg, but he dropped the project and left Moscow.

Not long after completion, Ganetsky lost his ownership of Sanduny playing cards; afterward, Vera Ivanovna paid his debts and divorced again.

The baths received water via a specially built aqueduct from the Babyegorodskaya Dam on the Moscow River and from 700 feet of artesian well.
