Prince Abamelik-Lazarev Mansion

Prince Sergei Abamelik-Lazarev’s mansion was actually a complex of buildings erected between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. Yevgraf Vorotilov designed the wing on 21 River Moika Embankment (1906–09), while Ivan Fomin designed the wing on 23 River Moika Embankment (1913–15). The facade of the building designed by Vorotilov copied the block of flats adjoining the Armenian Church at 40 Nevsky Prospekt, where the prince used to live.
