A little old and tired. My grandmother, my grandfather, has been baptized and camped in this church and is a member until my death. According to the Russian religion, the members of the congregation were named before Russia. So my grandmother and grandfather were named Valentina and Valeeri. Although they were Estonians. His grandfather fought on the German side in 1940 against the Russian forces, was lightly wounded and did not go to war again. They gave birth to 5 children, 4 boys and a girl. In 1991, his grandfather left after seeing the coming of Estonia and the blue-black-white dream he had dreamed of.

Château de Chantilly

The Château de Chantilly comprises two attached buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château, which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s. Owned by the Institut de France, the château houses the Musée Condé. It is one of the finest art galleries in France and is open to the public.

The estate"s connection with the Montmorency family began in 1484. The first mansion (now replaced by the Grand Château) was built in 1528–1531 for the Constable Anne de Montmorency by Pierre Chambiges. The Petit Château was also built for him, around 1560, probably by Jean Bullant. In 1632, after the death of Henri II, it passed to the Grand Condé who inherited it through his mother, Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency.

Several interesting pieces of history are associated with the château during the 17th century.
