The hunting lodge of Prince Yusupov in Sevastopol was sold at auction

The basis for the auction, notes Sevastopolskaya Gazeta, was the order of the DIZO “On the sale of an object of cultural heritage of regional significance seized on the basis of a court decision.” The court returned the hunting lodge to the property of Sevastopol without restriction of rights or encumbrances.

The starting auction price for the historic building on the Tavricheskaya embankment in Balaklava was set at 33.6 million rubles. According to the estimate, the cost of restoration work on the hunting lodge was estimated at 142.3 million rubles. The Port Lamos company became the winner of the auction, offering the highest price — 211.55 million rubles. Its closest competitor, LOS92 LLC, offered just over 209 million rubles for the house.

The founders of the Sevastopol microenterprise LLC Port Lamos, the winner of the auction, are Moscow microenterprises JSC Yuginvestproekt and LLC Yugholding. The latter has an authorized capital of almost 3.5 billion rubles, but only one person works in it — the general director. A joint stock company invests in securities.

The hunting lodge of Prince Yusupov was built in the 1900s on the western side of the bay in Balaklava and is an element of its historical ensemble. In Soviet times, the building was used for military needs. In 2003, the object was already sold into private hands on the initiative of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. The building became the property of Zolotoy Symbol LLC in 2005.

The litigation related to the fate of the villa lasted for quite a long time, and in December 2021 the end was reached — the property was seized from a private company and transferred to the state ownership of the city.

Last fall, Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev at a meeting of the architectural and artistic council announced that the hunting lodge of Prince Yusupov and four other objects on the Balaklava embankment — the dachas of Apraksin, Shcherbin, doctor Pedkov and the warehouse of the Schitt Cognac Factory will be restored. Unfortunately, despite the governor’s assurances, the hunting lodge was not included in the project for the integrated development of Balaklava.
