Knyazhevo - a former holiday village in the south-west of St. Petersburg .
In the XVIII-XIX centuries in the area of the future Knyazhev, adjacent to the Peterhof road , there were cottages of nobles, in particular, the estate of Lev Naryshkin "Levendal". Over time, part of the land passed into the possession of the German colonists Sheferov and Bercha.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Prince Nikolai Kutkin acquired a plot of land south of the Krasnenkaya River . In October 1904, he filed a petition with the county district council for the approval of his proposed settlement plan called Knyazhevo. The plan was approved in May 1906 . Soon there was a holiday village that existed just over half a century [1] .
In 1924, it was renamed in honor of the revolutionary Putilovets Ivan Ogorodnikov, but the name “Ogorodnikov village” was not fixed [2] . During the Great Patriotic War, the village was largely destroyed.
In 1961, construction began on the territory of Knyazhev by the Khrushchev five-story buildings, and a new urban area grew up on the site of the settlement, which in 1963 became part of Leningrad. The name of the village fell into disuse, superseded by the name of the entire planning area south of the Krasnenkoi River - Dachnoe .
Since 2011, it has been restored in the form of the name of the municipality located in the territory that was previously occupied by the settlement.
