Luxury homes for sale in Soloslovo

Soloslovo was first mentioned in the 16th century as most of the historical villages near Moscow, although the first houses in Soloslovo appeared earlier. The brothers who founded the village, Dementi and Mikhail Salarev, were famous merchants. Initially, the village bore the name of their surname, and only after it was renamed Soloslovo. Although, according to another version, in 1504 the village was called Soloslovl and belonged to a man nicknamed Kriva - Fyodor Khovansky, Lithuanian prince. As it was in fact, we can hardly find out, but one fact is known for sure. Salarevo in 1627 was owned by the boyar Fyodor Sheremetev.

It is also known that later renamed Soloslovo, Salarevo was the family estate of the Sheremetevs for two hundred and fifty years. Fedor Sheremetev did a lot for the development of Soloslovo, because he loved it very much. After the death of Fyodor in 1650, the boyar Peter Sheremetev became the new owner of the village, and after him his sons - the sons Ivan and Alexey Sheremetev. At that time there were thirty-six courtyards in Soloslovo. The population of the village did not exceed one hundred and sixty people.

The development and remarkableness of the village in the 18th century is poorly known. But by 1800, its population increased to almost fifty people, and the number of yards — up to seventy. The reform to abolish serfdom, which took place in 1861, allowed the peasants to get the long-awaited freedom, but did not give plots in Soloslovo for personal use. And the peasants had to look for new earning opportunities. A lot of coppersmiths, casters, blacksmiths and locksmiths came out of Soloslov at that time. Fedor Sidorov, for example, having become rich on trade, organized a workshop on copper-casting.

In Soloslovo there was also a leather production created by Ivan Kuvshinov, who had previously been a serf. A visiting German, Florian Fiedler, also founded a large weaving factory here. More than 300 people worked in a factory equipped with the latest equipment, and a school and a dormitory were built for the workers. But before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the village fell into decline. The property had no value, and the permanent population was just over two hundred people.
