Life

Harmen van Bol'es' father Cornelis van Boles (1658-1735) was windmill builder in Wijdewormer and from 1690 city room in Schiedam . Grandfather Harmen was a carpenter in Boles, South Holland Province .

Harmen van Bol'es signed in on April 26, 1713 The Hague a treaty to which it into the service I. Peters joined. In St. Petersburg, van Bol'es quickly achieved success thanks to the support of Domenico Trezzini . He made furniture for the imperial palaces and built domes , towers , drawbridges , locks , windmills and canals. In 1721 he rebuilt the Anitschkow Bridge . He was one of Nicolaus Friedrich Haebel's assistants . In the summer garden , van Bol'es created a system of fountains with underground water reservoirs. To this end, he built an aqueduct over the Fontanka to supply water from 1725–1726 , which was later replaced by the Panteleimon Bridge.

Van Bol'es became very famous for his spiers, especially those of the Peter and Paul Fortress with the Peter and Paul Cathedral (1713–1733) and that of the first St. Isaac's Cathedral made of stone by Georg Johann Mattarnovi and Nicolaus Friedrich Härbel . His weather vane (with the silhouette of Oryol ) on the top of the Admiralty (1719) became a symbol of St. Petersburg. In Mikhail Grigoryevich Semtsov's project of building the Simeon and Anna Church, van Bol'es built the spire (1731–1734). In 1737 he built the blue and red bridges over the Moika . In 1753 he built the large horse stable bridge over the Moika at the horse stable yard, for which he had already built the spire.

Van Bol'es was married twice in St. Petersburg and had at least 12 children. His eldest son Cornelis from his first marriage to Elisabeth Geldorp returned to Schiedam. The second son, Anthonij, became a builder at the Moscow court. The eldest son Cornelis the Younger from his second marriage to Catharina Potter followed his father.
