The birth of a little man is an event that all future parents are looking forward to. In any case, it will be remembered by him for his whole life. A few days later, parents will receive a birth certificate . And only in St. Petersburg, a baby who is only a few days old can be awarded a medal. This is done by employees of an institution such as the Baby Palace of Registration. Where is it located, what is its history and when can I go there? Read - and you will find out about everything!
So, the Palace "Baby" is a special department of the St. Petersburg registry office. Moreover, institutions of this type in Russia are no longer anywhere. Address of the Palace: st. Furshtatskaya, d. 58. This building is the former mansion of Spiridonov.
Building history
N.V. Spiridonov, a college counselor, acquired a plot of land on which now stands a luxurious mansion, almost untouched by time, in 1894. Only a modest building on one floor and a small garden were located here. They clearly did not correspond to this area of St. Petersburg, which already in those years was quite prestigious. Yes, and Spiridonov himself dreamed of a mansion that would in no way concede to neighboring houses.
Already in the years 1895-1896 the building was built, in which the Baby Palace is now located. The architects who worked on it are A.N. Pomerantsev, V.F. Svinin and I.S. Kitner.
Description of the mansion
The facade of the mansion is made in an eclectic style, the details of which are intertwined with elements of Baroque, Renaissance and German classicism. Strict symmetry balances the luxurious look well. The central risalit is decorated with a wide balcony, which is firmly held by the mighty Atlanteans.
The layout of the palace type of the Spiridonov mansion was thoroughly thought out by the architects. The main staircase is surrounded by smart lounges, in the center of which is a dance hall. Special nodal crossings provide the ability to view the building through. On the second floor, one after another, ceremonial rooms are located. In their interior, you can guess the details of various architectural trends. There are elements of graceful Rococo, high classicism, luxurious renaissance and picturesque Moorish style. The fact that this is a house created for family life, not devoid of modest holidays and just quiet evenings by the fireplace, is said by small details that support, however, its atmosphere. Stacked floors, mirrors, marble finishes, rich sculpting, painting - all this makes the mansion cozy and especially attractive.
For over 20 years, the Spiridonov family owned this house. In 1916, it was acquired by the merchant I.A. Malikov. But after the October Revolution, an orphanage was located here. The middle of the 20s was marked by the opening of the Institute’s mansion, which trained dental technicians and existed here before the war. Even the All-Russian Society of Cultural Relations has been working in this building since 1956. And already in 1965, a registry office was opened here under the name "Baby" - the Birth Registration Palace.
Presentation of medals
Since the signing of the special order by the St. Petersburg Government (08.24.2006), every baby born in the northern capital of Russia, who is a citizen of the Russian Federation, can receive a commemorative medal if his birth is registered with the local registry office. No money is required for this. In addition, if parents wish, this can happen in a special, solemn atmosphere. At the time of delivery of the first document of the baby, the Anthem to the Great City sounds in his honor.
Such a ritual will never be erased from the memory of young parents, because it is a real celebration. You can’t say anything - this is perhaps the best start in the life of a small citizen of the Russian Federation. Now every month, employees of the Palace "Baby" register more than five hundred babies, and this figure is growing every year.
The order of treatment
Who can come to the Baby Palace to register the birth of a child here? This is available to any resident of St. Petersburg and does not depend on the area of the northern capital in which young parents are registered. If the mother and father of the child are legal spouses, then one of them needs to submit an appropriate application to the Palace before the baby turns one month old. If the parents are not officially married, then the statements must be written by each of them.
In addition, you will need more such documents:
- A certificate from a medical institution that states when and where a child was born. If the baby was born in a home environment, then you need a witness - a person who can confirm this.
- Passports of parents.
- Marriage certificate of parents, if any.
Once again, we note that they register a child in the Palace and conduct a solemn ritual absolutely free of charge. At the moment, the Palace "Baby" in St. Petersburg allows you to submit an application in electronic form using the city portal of the state. services.
For the solemn registration are the last 3 days of the week - Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You can celebrate this event with your relatives right here by renting a buffet hall.
