It was constructed in the Neo-Russian style on the initiative of Emperor Nicholas II and encompasses the Court Cathedral of Our Lady Fedorovskaya, the Whitestone (for the priests of the cathedral), the Pink (for deacons), the Yellow (for prichetniks (religious officials below the rank of a deacon)) and the White (for lowest religious officials) chambers, the Refectory (1913-1917, architect S.S. Krichinsky), the Ratnaya (military) chamber (1913-1917, architect S.Y. Sidorchuk) and the Church of Our Lady Fedorovskaya His Imperial Majesty’s Own Escort (essentially it was a Domestic Chapel of the Imperial Family). The architecture of the ensemble features motifs of the 17th century Moscow-Yaroslavl architecture. In the course of Feodorovsky Settlement construction, the Society of the Artistic Rus Renaissance (1915 - October of 1917) was established, its meetings took place in the Refectory Chamber (chairman Count A.A. Shirinsky-Shikhmatov, members: artists A.M.Vasnetsov and V.M. Vasnetsov, I.Y. Bilibin, M.V. Nesterov and others). When the First World War broke out, military hospital No.17 was arranged in Feodorovsky Settlement, being under the patronage of Empress Alexandra Fedorovna and the Grand Princesses (from April 1916 there S.A. Esenin did military service). In 1918, the complex of Feodorovsky Settlement was given over to the Agronomical Institute, ravaged and partially destroyed in the years of German occupation (1941-1944). Since 1976, reconstruction works have been being carried out, since 1994 Feodorovsky Settlement has been being restored as Patriarchs' Manor. References: Синей Л. И.

After graduating from the Civil Engineers' Institute in 1897, he held a post in the Central Directorate for Irregular Duties. Until 1917, he performed the functions of chief architect of the Independent Corps of Frontier Guards. He was also active as architect for the House of Charity (1907-10). His works include residential buildings, religious and public buildings of St. Petersburg, as well as some country manor constructions in the vicinity of St. Petersburg and other provinces of Russia. In 1908-09, he was engaged in building the Trade House for the Guards’ Economic Society under the supervision of E.F. Wirrich (with the co-designership of N.V. Vasilyev). In 1908, he built a stable yard and a palace for E.A. Vorontsova-Dashkova in Shuvalovsky Park in Pargolovo, P.E. Scherbov's mansion in Gatchina in 1910, and Court Cathedral of Our Lady Fedorovskaya in 1911-1914. He also took part in the building of St. Petersburg Cathedral Mosque. Among the residential units built by Krichinsky in St. Petersburg the apartment house of the Emir of Bukhara (44B Kamennoostrovsky Avenue) should be distinguished as one of the most successful examples of Neoclassical house design (1913-1914). Krichinsky built over 24 major buildings in St. Petersburg and other cities of Russia and Europe; he also drafted over 20 plans for individual buildings and received over 20 awards at various architectural contests. From 1921, he taught at the Civil Engineers' Institute. References: Степан Самойлович Кричинский: (Некролог) // Зодчий. 1924. № 1. С. 43-46; Бадялов А. В. Петербургский зодчий С. С.
