Ramon is located in the Voronezh region, 37 km northeast of Voronezh.
Ramon is interesting for its neo-Gothic manor - the palace of the
Princess of Oldenburg - and a recreation area in the middle of a pine
forest. This is a good place to spend the night if you are driving along
the M-4 highway.
Ramon was first mentioned in 1613. At the end of
the 17th century, Peter I built one of the first shipyards on the
Voronezh River here. Over the next 200 years, nothing happened in Ramon,
until in 1879 Emperor Alexander II donated the village to Princess
Eugenie of Leuchtenberg (by her husband, Princess of Oldenburg). The
princess-princess developed an active activity in Ramoni: she built a
new sugar refinery and a candy factory, opened a school, and for her
family she built an estate stylized as a Gothic castle, which became the
main symbol of the village.
1 Palace of the Princess of Oldenburg. Tue–Sun 10:00–17:00. 100 rub.
The estate was built from 1883 to 1887; in addition to the main
building, the complex includes a guest house and outbuildings surrounded
by a park. During the 20th century, the estate was quite destroyed;
since 2010, restoration has been underway, which so far has affected
only the appearance: the park and outer fence have been landscaped, and
the main building has been plastered. Inside, everything is much more
modest: the cracks in the walls are covered with draperies, and
boardwalks are laid on top of the half-rotten princely parquet. The
first floor and basement are open to the public: on the first floor you
can see tiled stoves and fireplaces, photographs of pre-revolutionary
Ramoni and watch a rather boring film about the Oldenburg family. The
basement is completely empty, cold and gloomy: according to legend, the
princess locked the guilty peasants here.
It’s worth going around the
estate, as on the back side there are some pre-revolutionary artifacts:
the remains of a fence, part of the original outbuildings, and on the
rickety hut you can read that here Princess Eugenie opened the first
school in Ramon.
2 Water tower. Gothic elements look very stylish on
the tower, from which water was supplied to the estate's water supply
with cold and hot water - a rare thing for the Russian province of the
late 19th century.
3 Monument to Mosin. Sergei Ivanovich Mosin,
designer of the famous three-line rifle, was born and raised in Ramon.
4 Monument to the Ramona shipyard. In the year of the 300th anniversary
of the Russian fleet, a marble memorial sign was erected near the
village administration building.

Ramon is located 9 km from the M-4 highway. Minibuses to Ramon depart
from the Voronezh central bus station every 15-20 minutes.
On the
outskirts of Ramon there is a dead-end railway station, originally built
by the Oldenburgskys to export sugar factory products. An electric train
from Voronezh (via Grafskaya station) comes here three times a day. The
train takes almost two hours, and the schedule is inconvenient - use
minibuses.

it houses a grocery store, pharmacy and other small retail outlets,
including a cafeteria.

come here, and locals celebrate weddings and funerals - there may not be

the region.

Located on the
Voronezh River (a tributary of the Don) 37 km north of Voronezh (along

the branch from Grafskaya station).
It was first mentioned in 1613 as a village. The village arose at the
end of the 16th century on the site of the village of Rodnya, destroyed
by the Mongol-Tatars in the 13th century. This village could have been
founded at the end of the 11th - beginning of the 12th centuries by
settlers from the Chernigov land, who brought the name with them from
their old place of residence.
At the end of the 17th century, on
the instructions of Tsar Peter I, a shipyard was built in Ramon.
At the end of the 18th - first quarter of the 19th century, the owner
was retired captain I. I. Tulinov (1754-1827). In 1826, he bequeathed
the estate to his son Nikolai Ivanovich Tulinov (1810-1852), under whom
a sugar factory was founded in 1840. After his death, 4 years of
litigation between the heirs ended with his younger sister Anna
Ivanovna, married to Shele, taking over in 1856. In 1855, there were 540
residents of both sexes in the village - state and landowner peasants;
Beet sugar and stearin factories operated, the latter soon ceased
operations due to great competition from more powerful candle production
in Voronezh.
Administratively, it was part of the Usman district
of the Tambov province.
In 1895, an experimental production
station for growing sugar beets was founded, which was due to the
expansion of beet and sugar production at the Ramon Sugar Factory. In
1912, the station received the status of an experimental breeding
station - by this time the technology for selecting the most productive
varieties of sugar beets had been fully developed (at present it is a
separate settlement of VNIISS). From 1922 to 1929, the experimental
selection station was a division of the Department of Agriculture of the
Voronezh Agricultural Institute. During these years, sugar beet breeder
A.L. Mazlumov worked here. In 1948-1949, for the first time in the
world, the first samples of single-seeded sugar beets were obtained and
propagated at the experimental breeding station, which made it possible
to make a revolution in the technology of growing sugar beets; now, when
sowing one seed, one plant was obtained (previously, 2 were obtained
from a ball of seeds). -3 sprouts). In the fall of 1959, Chairman of the
USSR Council of Ministers Nikita Khrushchev visited the experimental
station on a working visit. Considerable tasks were set: to become the
leading selection center for sugar beets both in the USSR and in Europe,
to collect all the advanced achievements of domestic selection, to
immediately introduce advanced highly productive varieties and hybrids
of sugar beets into production. In 1965, the station received the status
of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Sugar Beets and Sugar
(VNIISS).
The status of an urban-type settlement has been since
1938.
