Primorye historical heritage in Vityaz Bay continues breaking down. If we do not take urgent measures, the stone castle of Count Jan Yankovsky will be lost forever.

The most beautiful bays of the Marine Reserve, rocky shores and sandy beaches. To see it with own eyes, the Far East citizans are ready to risk even the “walkers” of their cars. Before the start of the mass pilgrimage to these places, it is only a month, and the ten-kilometer stretch of the journey from Andreyevka to Vityaz is more like goat tracks.

But, if they arrived, then as a reward for patience, besides the natural beauties, there is also a story to be touched. On the steep cliffs of Cape Gamov rises a stone, the southernmost lighthouse of Russia, he is already 113 years old. Nearby is a coastal tower battery, which is periodically tried to cut into scrap metal. And in the bay there are still the hulls of the hunting schooners.

It was built in 1919. From natural stone, concrete and coastal pebbles. Defense towers and stone battlements - in case of attack by Chinese robbers, whose gangs often organized raids in these places. A philanthropist and entrepreneur, a nobleman, Jan Jankowski planned to settle here, but a year after the castle was rebuilt, he died from a Spaniard. The family should leave Primorye.

In Soviet times there was a post office, military warehouses, but in the 80s the castle was finally abandoned. From the former beauty there were only the foundation and massive, in some places, rickety walls. In the 91st the castle becomes a monument of historical and cultural regional significance. Before the restoration of the hands have not reached. And this is despite the fact that the old castle has very specific owners. But when there are more than one, frank confusion begins.

In accordance with the law, it is FEFU need to monitor the preservation of the historical heritage, which is in its ownership and designed. But it turns out that even earlier, 12 years ago, the regional law transferred the building into the ownership of the Zarubino administration. A legal conflict can be resolved by the court, but apparently this is the rare case when neither side is in a hurry to pull the blanket over.

And this means that officially, the burden of maintenance and preservation is borne by the federal university. But looking at the condition of the house, the conclusion suggests itself that for FEFU it is really, rather a burden, and not an honorary right to own the last castle of Primorye.
