This bowling in the Grumant boarding house in the Tula region is a kind of symbiosis of modern architecture and the image of the Russian manor of the XVIII-XIX centuries

Architects completely rebuilt the old building of the boarding house. And they made a bowling in it. Here are two floors. The first is the actual bowling, bar and reception. Floors - from a natural stone with the thinnest drawing applied on them. The walls and facades of the bar counters are decorated with plots from the coronation album of the Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. The same plots were engraved on the glasses separating the bowling lanes from the bar. Part of the walls is covered with decorative fabrics made especially for this building according to the sketches of the artist Pavel Kaplevich. The main staircase leading to the second floor is decorated with marble. On the second floor on the walls you can see a version of the same engraving. Perhaps, such a creative and very unusual bowling is nowhere else.
