History of the sanatorium "Velegozh"

Not only Tula residents came here, but also patients from the capital. But, unfortunately, the revolution interrupted this story. The premises of the clinic have not been preserved, but, perhaps, the botanical garden, which today adorns the sanatorium, remained from Dr. Tarasov.

In the late 1920s and early 1930s, a tuberculosis sanatorium was opened here from the administration of the Tula region. It existed until the opening of the Velegozh Rest House from the Ministry of Railways of the USSR. In the early 60s of the last century, it was transferred to the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions. Currently, "Velegozh" (sanatorium, Tula region) is a private property.
