Mountains above Kastropol

North of the Sevastopol - Yalta highway rises above Kastropol Kastropol Wall or Kastropolsky edging- one of the western parts of the rocky cliffs of the Ai-Petrinskaya Yayla facing the sea. The relative height of the rocky wall reaches 200, its upper line from sea level reaches a height of 600-950. In the east, the border of the Kastropol wall is the fault of Mount Morcheka, popular among climbers, in the west - a natural and historical monument - the Shaitan-Merdven pass. In literature, the Kastropol Wall and the Baydar Wall, located west of Shaitan-Merdven, are often combined under a single name Baydaro-Kastropol wall.

In the east of the Kastropol Wall, an old path fortified with pavement runs along the slopes of Mount Morcheka Kerezla from the village of Opolznevoye (Kikeneiz) to the yayla. The vast Morcheki massif is directly adjacent to the western edge of the edge of the yayla by a pointed rock Kastropol Mountain height 954.6 m (44°25’20" N, 33°54’22" E).

2300 m west of the Kastropol Mountain in an amphitheater-depression on the edge of the edge of the yayla there is a rock Balchikh-Kaya 945 m high (44°25’29" N, 33°53'27" E), cut into two parts by a fault; Passive TV signal reflectors are installed on both parts of Balchikh-Kai. Another 500 m to the west, after a sharp decrease (to an altitude of about 850 m), there is a swampy pond; above it, in the dry bed of the watercourse, there is a well Balchikh-Kuyu. From here to Upper Kastropol 1800 m due south. Further 800 m to the southwest on the edge of the edge of the yayla there is a trapezoidal rock Merdven-Kayasy height 856.2 m (44°25’20" N, 33°52’25" E)

Further to the west, over a distance of 1500 m, there is a sharp decrease in the edge of the edge of the yayla (by 250 meters in height), ending in a wedge-shaped cliff Isar-Kaya about 600 m high.

The turns to these serpentines are located 51 and 53 km from the Sevastopol railway station (34 and 32 km from the Yalta bus station, respectively). Both turns to Kastropol are connected to Yalta, Sevastopol and Simferopol by bus. At the same time, the name Beregovoe is not used at bus ticket offices (the stops are called Verkhniy and Nizhny Kastropol, the first of them is closer to Sevastopol, the second is closer to Yalta).

Story

Ancient history

According to legends recorded by local residents at the end of the 19th century, before the creation of the fortress, approximately in the 7th century, an Orthodox monastery was located near the Iphigenia rock. The same legend claimed that the monastery was dedicated to the memory of martyrs crucified on this rock to intimidate sailors around the 3rd century. n. e. by Roman authorities during the persecution of Christians. No documentary or material evidence of this legend has yet been found. However, it was precisely this that served as the basis for the construction of the now existing monument-cross on the top of the Iphigenia rock.

Russian Empire period

In 1924, on the site of most of the estate and park of D. Pervushin’s estate, two sanatoriums for teachers were created. In the city they were united into the boarding house "Kastropol".

An episode of the Great Patriotic War is associated with Upper Kastropol. In December 1941, here, on German-occupied territory, a reconnaissance group of sailors from the Soviet Black Sea Fleet under the command of midshipman F. Volonchuk landed and operated. In memory of this raid, a memorial plaque was installed on the slope-reinforcing slope of the Yalta-Sevastopol highway near the turn to Nizhny Kastropol in May 1978.

In 1960, one of the filming locations for the film “Amphibian Man” was located in Kastropol - V. Korenev, Anastasia Vertinskaya and other artists worked here. In 1986, part of the filming of the film “The Prisoner of the Chateau d'If” took place under the slope of the Iphigenia rock - V. Avilov, E. Dvorzhetsky, M. Boyarsky, G. Yungvald-Khilkevich and other filmmakers worked here.

In 1971, the village of Kastropol was renamed Beregovoye.

The resort area is protected by the Main Ridge of the Crimean Mountains from the cold north-eastern and northern winds. Rich natural vegetation (coniferous and deciduous trees) is combined with parkland; Evergreen trees and shrubs predominate.

In Nizhny Kastropol there is a private development, as well as a seaside resort area. This zone consists of a group of buildings of the Kastropol boarding house, several hotels and mini-hotels.

According to legends recorded by local residents in late XIX centuries, before the creation of the fortress, approximately in the 7th-10th centuries, an Orthodox monastery was located near the Iphigenia rock. The same legend claimed that the monastery was dedicated to the memory of martyrs crucified on this rock to intimidate sailors around the 3rd century. n. e. by Roman authorities during the persecution of Christians. No documentary or material evidence of this legend has yet been found. However, it was she who served as the basis for the construction of the current cross on top of the Iphigenia rock.

Kastropulo is one of the best estates here due to its proximity to the sea, the beauty of the location and the quality of the land for vineyards. There is no doubt that there was once a fairly significant settlement of the ancient Greeks here. Proof of this, in addition to the name indicating the existence of a fortress in it, are the traces of a fortification noticed by Academician Köppen on a rock approaching the sea itself and the discovery in the ground of clay amphorae or enormous jugs in which the ancients preserved their wines. Residents of the former Tatar settlement of Mikhalatki, who have now moved to Turkey, told me that according to the legend passed down to them from their fathers, Kastropulo was abandoned by the Greeks at the time when Christians left the Crimean Khanate for the Mariupol steppes; that this settlement was extensive before Turkish rule on the southern coast, but subsequently, when the Turkish agis began to treat them cruelly and interfere with the free exercise of worship, the oppressed could only pray in a cave and were glad to leave their homeland at the first opportunity. According to the same Tatars, the surroundings of Kastropulo under the Greeks were incomparably richer in all kinds of vegetation and abounded in grain grain, which is no longer sown here at present. From them I also learned that the cave that served as the Temple of the unfortunate Christians and to this day presents traces consistent with legend, and is located in the rock opposite the villages of Mikhalatki and Kuchuk-koya, located a short distance from Kastropulo.

On the military topographical map of Major General Mukhin in 1817, the tract is also simply indicated Castrop. In 1823, the Kastropulo estate was acquired by a representative of one of the richest families in Russia - Nikolai Nikitich Demidov - with the aim of turning it into an “economy” (a separate economic unit) of experimental viticulture. In savings for a short time More than 20 thousand vines of French and Spanish origin were planted, wine cellars were dug into the slopes, and mass production of barrels was established.

After the death of N. N. Demidov (1828) Kastropulo was the joint estate of his sons-philanthropists - Kursk governor Pavel Nikolaevich Demidov and Anatoly Nikolaevich Demidov (Prince San Donato). In 1837, Kastropulo was visited by the natural history expedition of Anatoly Demidov (the group of scientists was led by a professor at the Paris Mining school F. Le-Ple), who left short description savings By personal decree of Nicholas I of March 23 (old style), 1838, on April 15, a new Yalta district was formed and the village was transferred to the Derekoi volost. On the map of 1842, Kastropol is indicated by the conventional sign “small village”, that is, less than 5 households.

According to the division of the Demidovs' property in 1861, Kastropulo went to the son of P.N. Demidov - Pavel Pavlovich Demidov (Prince San Donato), later the mayor of Kyiv. According to "List populated areas Tauride province according to information from 1864", compiled based on the results of the VIII audit of 1864, Kastropol is a proprietary Russian economy, with 1 courtyard and 7 inhabitants, at the Kuyme stream. On three-verst on the map of 1865-1876, small villages are indicated separately Kostropol and Demidov's dacha.

In 1873, P. P. Demidov-San Donato sold Castropulo to the Russian diplomat Baron Karl Karlovich Toll, who transferred the estate to his daughter Margarita (in marriage - Izvolskaya). After this, the name of the village of Kastropulo was transformed into Kastropol by analogy with urban names of Greek origin common in the southern Russian region [ ] . On verst On the map of 1889-1890, the Nizhny Kastropol estate is indicated on the site of Beregovoy.

In 1882-1892, Baroness M.K. Toll lived on the Kastropol estate last years life organizer of one of the first Communities of Sisters of Charity in Russia Marfa Sabinina; Here she wrote autobiographical “Notes”. In those same years, M. Sabinina’s friend and colleague in charity matters, the maid of honor of the imperial court, Baroness Maria Fredericks, often visited Castropol. On the initiative of M. Sabinina, at the expense of M. Fredericks, a portable Orthodox church was built and consecrated in Kastropol (soon, however, moved by the will of the patrons themselves to Feodosia, where it served as the basis for the construction of the Kazan Cathedral).

In 1924, on the site of most of the estate and park of D. Pervushin’s estate, two sanatoriums for teachers were created. In 1960 they were united into the Kastropol boarding house. According to, as part of the Kikineiz village council Yalta region, there were two farms: Kastropol with 19 households, of which 5 were peasants, the population was 36 people, of which 32 Russians, 31 Crimean Tatars, 1 Ukrainian and Kastropol Nizhny (3 households, 11 Russian residents).
