General information about Solone

The urban-type village of Solone on the Solona River is located 35 kilometers south of the Dnipro city. Administratively, it is part of the Dnipro district of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

It was founded at the end of the 17th century by runaway serfs as Novoselivka. In the second half of the 18th century, these lands were acquired by a baron, Major General Hryhoriy Enhelhardt, who named the village Enhelhardivka. The new owner, Lieutenant General Yosyp Horvath, renamed it Solonenke. The wooden church of Peter and Paul was built in 1803 under the next owner, Pavlo Neverovskyi. Since Neverskyi's daughter married the son of Hrygoriy Enhelhardt, the estate returned to the ownership of the Enhelhardt barons.

In 1862, part of the estate on both sides of the artificial pond was b ...

Cелище міського типу Солоне на річці Солоній розташоване за 35 кілометрів на південь від міста Дніпро. Адміністративно входить до складу Дніпровського району Дніпропетровської області.

Засноване наприкінці XVII століття кріпаками-втікачами як Новоселівка. В другій половині XVIII століття ці землі отримав барон, генерал-майор Григорій Енгельгардт, який назвав село Енгельгардівкою. Новий власник генерал-лейтенант Йосип Хорват перейменував його на Солоненьке. За наступного власника Павла Неверовського в 1803 році була побудована дерев’яна церква Петра та Павла (не збереглася). Оскільки донька Неверського вийшла заміж за сина Григорія Енгельгардта, маєток повернувся у власність баронів Енгельгардтів.

В 1862 році частину маєтку по обидві сторони штучного ставка викупила мен ...

Berhman House (History Museum)

Architecture , Museum / gallery

The complex of buildings of the Berhman brothers' manor in the urban-type village of Solone is a rare example of a German-Mennonite manor, built in the second half of the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style of eclecticism.

In 1862, part of the lands of Solone (then Enhelhardivka) was purchased by the Mennonite family of Abram and Suzanne Berhman from West Prussia. Between the mid-1870s and the early 1890s, their sons Herman and Abram built two manor houses on either side of the man-made pond that bisects the village.

Only the farm buildings on Usenka Street remained from the southern estate of Herman Bergman. Instead, the main one-story brick house with Neo-Gothic elements in architecture has been preserved on the territory of the northern estate of Abram Berhman's younger brother. The main height accents of the facade are risalites, which end with complex neo-Gothic triangular pediments with arrow-shaped attic window openings. The decoration of the gables is characterized by skillfully made brick decor. A high faceted bay window tower faces the pond, which ends with a complex octagonal tent covered with tiles in the form of carp scales. Elements of the original decor have been partially preserved in the interior of the house.

During the Moscow-Bolshevik invasion, the property of the estate was looted, and the owners were shot. During Soviet times, the Berhmans' house housed the authorities, later the Palace of Pioneers and the library.

Since 1992, part of the premises has been occupied by the Museum of the History of Solone, founded in 1976. The museum's collections include 2,000 exhibits. In particular, the exposition tells about the history of the Berhman family and their contribution to the development of the region's economy.

The Berhman House is an architectural monument of local importance. The building needs restoration.
