History
The Kremlin Garden was opened on July 9, 1837. On this day, Tsesarevich Alexander Nikolayevich Romanov, the future Emperor Alexander II, visited Tula. In memory of this, the Kremlin Garden was also called the Alexander Garden.
The garden surrounded the Kremlin from three sides and consisted of two parts - the Upper (from Ivanovsky to Pyatnitsky Gates) and the Lower (along the embankment of the Upa River to the Angular Tower ). The lower garden has not been preserved to this day, in its place now is the territory of the Tula arms factory.
In the 1850s there was a greenhouse in the garden with fruit trees and flowers, which was kept by the Tula tradesman Alexander Pushkin.
In the 1870s, at the suggestion of the mayor Nikolai Dobrynin, a one-story wooden summer theater building was built in the southeastern part of the garden.
In 1884, the Tula merchant Vasily Fedulovich Safonov arranged a bowling alley and a shooting gallery for shooting from airguns in the garden.
In 1910, a peasant Mikhail Lavrentyev designed air swings, children's attractions and a pavilion for instant photography in the garden.
In the 1920s, the Kremlin Garden was renamed and became known as the Garden. M.P. Tomsky, and after transferring it to the Tula arms factory in the 1940s, the TOZ garden.
Since the 1970s, old and obstructing trees and shrubs were cut down in the garden, new linden trees, mountain ash, apple trees, shrubs and flowers were planted in their place, and trees were trimmed regularly, and shrubs and lawns were trimmed.
In the 1990s, the garden became desolate.
In the 2000s, by order of the city administration, the garden was ennobled: the alleys were tiled, entrance gates, benches, urns, a playground were installed.
On July 15, 2012, in the framework of the National Program “In the Circle of the Family”, a monument was opened to one of the holy saints Peter and Fevronia of Murom the Miracle Workers on one of the alleys. It is made in bronze by the sculptor Konstantin Rodislavovich Chernyavsky and donated to the Tula region.
On November 29, 2013, by order of the Ministry of Property and Land Relations of the Tula Region, the Kremlin Square was transferred to the permanent use of the State Institution “Tula Parks”.
