About the place
Valman Castle is one of the most remarkable local architectural landmarks, built on the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries in the German variant of Art Nouveau - Jugendstil. Each of the castle's four sides is absolutely unique, making it difficult to determine which facade is the main one.
The castle is named after Katarina Valman, the wife of the famous industrialist Andreas Valman, who was known for her philanthropy and participation in the social life of the Mennonites. She donated 10,000 rubles to the construction of a women's gymnasium and served as its treasurer. In 1914, she donated 5,000 rubles to the psychiatric hospital "Bethany".
Another initiative of Katarina Valman was the opening of a kindergarten. She completed the relevant courses in Germany and, upon returning, decided to build a facility for young children on the colony's territory. Valman Castle became that place, but the kindergarten was never opened in the building. It was built after the revolution.
Due to its pompous architecture, the building later became known as "Die Burg," which means "the castle" in German.
