Russian Origin of Sinebrychoff's Park in Helsinki

Sinebrychoff Park was originally the private garden of Russian-born businessman Nikolai Sinebrychoff (1786–1848). Sinebrychoff accumulated a considerable fortune with his business ventures, which included a brewery, a distillery, a hotel and spa, residential and factory real estate, and land. In 1817 he moved his business to Vyborg (Suomenlinna), where he supplied the Russian regiment with goods. In 1821 he began construction of a brewery and distillery on the mainland in Hietalahti, at that time on the city’s outer periphery. He later built an Empire-style mansion along Bulevardi that was completed in 1842. Behind the house he established an English-style geometric garden. The garden featured three ponds, a viewing terrace, a gazebo, arched bridges, floral arrangements, sitting areas, and large trees. Later a large greenhouse and ice cellar were added. The private garden was open to the public during the day with capped guards to maintain order. The garden flourished in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Nikolai Sinebrychoff himself never lived in the mansion on Bulevardi, preferring to live in Vyborg. The last residents were Paul Sinebrychoff the Younger (1859–1917) and his wife, the actress Fanny Grahn (1862–1921), who amassed a sizeable art collection. The marriage between Paul and Fanny produced no children, so Paul was the family’s last male to carry the Sinebrychoff name. In 1921 the art collection, comprising 750 items, was donated to the Finnish people. It remains the largest art collection ever donated to Finland, creating the foundation for the young nation’s own national gallery. The Sinebrychoff Art Museum specialises in European art, and its collections are priceless.
