Eerie discovery found in Simferopol during the repair of the facade of the College of railway transport and industry. When removing the plaster it became clear that the building was built out of tombstones.

the Corresponding photos appeared in the group in Facebook “Old Simferopol”. “It is evident that used in the construction of tombstones. Hurry to see before they disappeared under a new layer of plaster or foam,” writes the author Elena Osadchaya. In the comments under the post States that the building was built on the site of the cemetery.

In the Crimea, such constructions are not uncommon. Earlier the newspaper “Crimean Telegraph” reported that in Simferopol historians have dozens of houses, the construction of which used the tombstones and part of the crypts. Most of these buildings in the Karaim street, where just is the College. This building previously housed a furniture workshop artel “Revival”. It was built using gravestones from the first of the Simferopol cemetery. And the house No. 6, where is located one of the outbuildings radio GTRK

“Crimea”, built from cemetery stones. Another building on the same street belongs to school №14. It was built on the site of the mound in which was buried a hero of the battle of Alma Crimean war. And the Karaite house on 23-a was built from gravestones in Christian cemeteries.

As told to “MK” historian and ethnographer Dmitry Borisov, “Previously, this whole area consisted of continuous cemeteries. And even school # 14 is currently off the bones. In the 30-ies of the cemetery was liquidated. Relatives who could take the dead, was not, therefore, the plate used as construction material. It was also disassembled the burial place of the first of the Simferopol team.

At that time it was very common. Dead inferior place alive, and the builders were too lazy to stesyvat names and dates of the deceased. The stones were brought from everywhere. If we take cave city, for example, Mangup-Calais, we will not see large buildings, because they were all dismantled. Why to get the materials somewhere else, when you can also. There were such a system of secondary use of the stones.

Simferopol Authorities and administration of the College pictures has not yet commented. And the question will now bear the “burial building”, residents of Simferopol shrug – then you have to demolish half of the area. In the Central Museum of Taurida told “MK” that such buildings usually, no one blows. “In 30 years nobody took care of, from which to build the building. Take whatever comes to hand. And such things are found everywhere,” – said the representative of the Museum.
