Life

The noble family Sultanow led back to Akindina Fyodorowitsch Sultanow, the 1674 lands had been awarded. Sultanov's father Vladimir Arkadjewitschj left the family in 1858, so that the mother Jelena Nikolajewna raised her son and two daughters. The family often moved and lived in Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod . Sultanov's career choice was determined by his aunt's husband, the architect Nikolai Pavlovich Milyukov . He attended the 5th grammar school in St. Petersburg, graduating in 1868, and then studied at the St. Petersburg Building School, which became the Institute of Civil Engineers (IGI) and is now the St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Construction . In 1873 Sultanov left the university with a first-rate certificate.

Sultanov entered the civil service and taught at the IGI. 1878–1879 he published his course on architectural history . In 1895 he became director of the IGI. Since his youth, Sultanow has been enthusiastic about Neo-Russian and Neo- Byzantine architecture as the starting point for architectural development. Under his leadership, the IGI became the center of Byzantine style building. Sultanov translated and edited Eugène Viollet-le-Duc's L'Art russe .

1877–1878 , Sultanov restored together with А. К. Serebryakov the Trinity Church in Ostankino Castle . Thanks to a chance acquaintance with Count Sergei Dmitrijewitsch Sheremetew Sultanov was 1878-1891 his house architect and then architect of the Yusupovs. He also worked for Dmitri Sergeyevich Sipyagin . 1891–1895, Sultanov restored the Yusupov Palace on Bolshoi Kharitonevsky Pereulok in Moscow. Sultanov restored mansions and churches all over Russia , collected materials on the history of Russian, Byzantine and Western European architecture and published monographs on the history of architecture. In 1892 Alexander III invited Sultanov and three other architects to take part in the competition to build the Peter and Paul Cathedral in Peterhof . In 1893 Alexander III chose Sultanov's project, which Sultanov's pupil Vasili Antonowitsch Kossjakow realized from 1895–1905 . In 1893 Sultanov became a real member of the Imperial Academy of Arts and was active in Russian and European scientific societies.

Sultanov built the cave church of the Chernigovsky hermitage of the Trinity Monastery of Sergiev Posad from 1886 to 1889 . 1889–1890 the (not preserved) house church for the palace of Grand Duke Pavel Alexandrovich followed . 1891–1895 Sultanov rebuilt the house of the Moscow Governor General (Tverskaya Ulitsa 13) in Moscow, which was later rebuilt. He carried out restorations in Kuskovo and developed a project to reconstruct the palace of the Princes of Uglich (1890-1892), in which Tsarevich Dmitri lived and died. In 1895 he restored the towers of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin and in 1897 the Moscow Church of the Nativity of the Virgin (Ulitsa Malaya Dmitrowka 4). Together with the sculptor Alexander Michailowitsch Opekuschin and the artist Paul von Joukowsky , Sultanov created the monument to Alexander II in the Moscow Kremlin from 1893–1898 , which was destroyed after the October Revolution in spring 1918 and finally removed in 1928. This was followed by the Vladimir Church (1900–1902) in Marienbad and the Church in Sakharovskoye ( Ujesd Medyn ).

Sultanov was buried in the cemetery of the Russian Church in Wiesbaden. He was married to the writer Ekaterina Pavlovna Letkova , who outlived him by almost 30 years.
