Karlova Manor

Karlova Manor

Karlova gave its name to a whole district of Tartu. Karl von Krüdener founded the estate on land bought in the 1790s, on the edge of the Emajõgi valley with views over the river and town. In 1828 it was bought by the writer and publisher Faddei Bulgarin, who made it a centre of local Russian cultural life and filled it with art, books, Russia's largest private map collection and a Fraunhofer telescope. Around 1830 and in 1844 he dressed the old house in neo-Gothic stepped gables, turrets and a wooden lookout tower meant as an observatory, so that it looks like a small castle among the apartment blocks.

Eesti keeles

Karlova mõisa järgi on nime saanud terve Tartu linnaosa. Mõisa rajas Karl von Krüdener 1790. aastatel ostetud maale Emajõe ürgoru servale, kust avanesid vaated jõele ja linnale. 1828. aastal ostis selle kirjanik ja kirjastaja Faddei Bulgarin, kelle ajal sai mõisast kohaliku vene kultuurielu keskus. Tal oli rikkalik kunsti- ja raamatukogu, Venemaa suurim maakaartide erakogu ning Fraunhoferi teleskoop. 1830. aasta paiku ja 1844. aastal lisas Bulgarin vanale majale uusgooti astmikviilud, tornikesed ja observatooriumiks mõeldud puidust vaatetorni, nii et hoone meenutab elamukvartalite vahel väikest linnust.
