The "Pink Dacha" is the ancestral estate of architect Andrei Stakenschneider, located in the Gatchina district of the Leningrad Region, in the settlement of Myza-Ivanovka. Construction was completed in the 1850s, and the house was built in the Russian Revival style. The estate was named the "Pink Dacha" due to the unusual color of its facade—the house was painted pink. The estate building has not survived to the present day. The mill is also in a dilapidated state, but restoration work is underway on its grounds. Under the project, the building is being adapted into a museum and exhibition complex dedicated to Andrei Stakenschneider, his projects, and the history of the region. The design plans to use the method of complete recreation of the main house using authentic materials and structures. The park is scheduled for restoration based on surviving iconographic materials, alongside the organization of event spaces, children's and sports playgrounds, and comprehensive landscaping.
