The " Kichkine ” Palace (from the Persian word for a baby) was built
between 1908 and 1911 on Cape Ai-Todor in Gaspra by three brothers Trasov - local architect, designer,
furniture manufacturer.
Tatiana Konstantinovna was the niece of the
Great prince Dmitri Konstantinovich (1860-1919), who owned the charming palace "
Kichkine". The Princess
Tatiana was the only member of the large family of the Great Prince
Konstantin Konstantinovich (famous poet, who used the pen-name "
K.R." - Konstantin Romanov) whose marriage was morganatic. The feeling of the young Princess of the blood and the
Georgian Prince Konstantin Bagration-Moukhranski overcame the strict
laws of marriage of the reigning dynasty, and they were betrothed in the
Church of Intercession in Livadia in the spring of 1911. See also "The Romanovs in the Crimea"
