14th BUILDING OF THE MOSCOW KREMLIN
Рассчитать стоимость работThe 14th building of the Kremlin is an administrative building that used to be found on the Ivanovskaya Square of the Moscow Kremlin from 1934 to 2016. It was built on the site of the Small Nicholas Palace, the Chudov Monastery, and the Ascension Convent that were demolished in 1929 – 1930.
In 2021, renovation operations began in the building and continued, with intermissions, until 2014 when a decision was made to demolish this structure. The building itself was not an architectural monument.
Diamond wire cutting was used to cut the four-story administrative building into transportable fragments and blocks. The walls were more than two meters thick. 90 employees of Reforma Group were involved in the demolition.
No mechanized operations were possible at this facility because of the constrained space (the site was surrounded by construction cranes) and the value of the surrounding buildings within the Kremlin historical monument included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
In 2016, the 14th building of the Kremlin was completely demolished. A park was planted on its site, while underground vaults of churches and monasteries dating back to the Middle Ages and dungeons of the Small Nicholas Palace discovered and preserved during the demolition were converted into museums
