Utkina Dacha

As of 2019[update] the neglected building is a branch of a museum (ru:Государственный музей городской скульптуры).

[1] Prior to the founding of St. Petersburg this land near the Nyenschantz fortress was owned by Swedish colonel Okkervil.

In the middle of the 18th century this land was granted to Agafokleya Poltoratskaya and her husband Mark Poltoratsky as an award for their involvement in opera productions.

The Manor of Okkervil was managed by their daughter Agafokleya Sukhareva, who also owned the neighboring site upstream the river Okhta.

After the 1917 Russian Revolution, the estate passed to the Commissariat of Health, and housed Malookhtinsky office of the 2nd psychiatric hospital.
