Princess Sinaida Ivanovna Jussupova , née Naryschkina ( Russian Зинаида Ивановна Юсупова , scientific transliteration Zinaida Ivanovna Jusupova ; born November 2, 1809 in Moscow ; † October 16, 1893 in Paris ), was a Russian court lady of the Naryschkins family.

Sinaida Yusupova's architectural zeal has left its mark on at least three St. Petersburg buildings. The neo-baroque -Liebhaberin participated in the design of the interior of the Moika Palace and took care of the construction of its St. Petersburg palace - the Liteiny dom southeast of the same name Neva bridge and their villa in Tsarskoye Selo .

Life

Born on November 2, 1809, Sinaida, daughter of Chamberlain Ivan Dmitrijewitsch Naryschkin (1776-1848) and his wife Varvara Nikolajewna Ladomirskaja (1785-1840), was baptized on November 13th. Sinaida and her brother Dmitri (1812–1866) were carefully raised by private tutors. Sinaida was interested in art .

The lady-in-waiting Sinaida and her future husband, Prince Boris Nikolayevich Yusupov (1794–1849) met in Moscow in 1826 during the coronation celebrations of Nicholas I. The 32-year-old prince had been widowed for six years. The 16-year-old was considered a beauty. Sinaida's parents initially rejected Prince Boris as a son-in-law despite his wealth and titles, but his persistence was rewarded. The engagement took place on November 11, 1826. The couple married on January 19, 1827 in Moscow. The young woman found married life in Petersburg boring. On October 12, 1827, their son Nikolai was born in Petersburg. Soon after, a daughter was stillborn. The couple no longer understood each other. Prince Boris took mistresses.

Around 1829, Sinaida's beauty and sparkling spirit attracted Nikolaus I. In 1830 she began an affair with the guard cavalryman Nikolai Andrejewitsch Scherwe, who was almost the same age. The officer was wounded during armed conflict in Chechnya and died in the summer of 1841. In his memoirs, Prince Felix Yusupov brings up the “funny life” of his great-grandmother.

After the death of her husband, Sinaida went to France. In 1850 she met the military Louis Charles Honoré de Chauveau, who was twenty years her junior. The wedding took place on May 7, 1861 in the aforementioned Liteiny dom in Petersburg . The couple spent their honeymoon in Switzerland. The alliance caused offense at the court in Petersburg. Sinaida solved the problem with money; bought the titles Comte and Marquis de Serres for her second husband . The couple acquired Kériolet Castle in the Breton community of Concarneau in 1862 and expanded it into their splendid residence. After the death of her second husband, Sinaida donated the property to the community in 1891 and moved to Paris. In 1893 Sinaida wanted to visit her old home - from Paris - but died before that. According to the will, Sinaida's remains were transferred to St. Petersburg and buried in the cemetery of the Sergius von Radonesch Church in the monastery of St. Sergius.
