Volkonsky (noble family)
The Wolkonski family ( Russian Волконский ; scientific transliteration Volkonskij ) is a Russian princely family .
history
According to tradition, the family descends from the founder of the Russian Empire, Ryurik , from the Grand Duke of Kiev , Svyatoslav II , who ruled from 1073 to 1076 , the grandson of St. Vladimir of Russia. Grand Duke Sviatoslav II was also the founder of the Chernigov branch of the Rurikids . Prince Ivan Juriewitsch inherited several estates from his father, Prince Juri Michailowitsch von Torussa, including the town of Wolkona, which then gave its name to this branch of the Rurikids. The first written mentions of the name Volkonsky appear with the princes Roman in 1482 and Michail in 1486. Numerous decisions of the conducting senate in the period from 1799 to 1888 confirmed the family's prince dignity. Russian bestowal of the hereditary title Highness (Svietlost) took place on August 30th jul. / September 11, 1834 greg. .

Castle case
Fall Castle ( Spanish : Keila-Joa ) is located about 30 kilometers from Tallinn, the former Reval . In 1555 the mill with the associated areas was lent to the Neukirch family by the master of the order Heinrich von Galen (1480–1557). After 1641 ownership changed to the Baade, Wrangell , Tiesenhausen , von Dehn , von Pohlmann and von Berg families . It was then bought in 1827 by Alexander von Benckendorff (1781–1844) who bequeathed it to his daughter. She was married to Prince Volkonsky, Grigory Petrovich, who kept the castle until 1920. Tsar Nicholas I and his family visited the castle several times. At the time of Estonia's independence it served as the official residence of the Foreign Minister and during the Soviet era it was a military shelter. “Today the castle is magnificently renovated and houses a museum on the history of Fall. The castle was the first historicist building in Estonia. It was built around 1833 by the architect Andrei Iwanowitsch Stackenschneider in the neo-Gothic Tudor style. The castle is surrounded by a beautiful park that also contains the famous Keila waterfall. The castle owes its German name to this waterfall. ”. The manors Merremois and Käsal were added to the Fall castle.
