Sandunóvskie Baths or Sanduný (Сандуны́, Сандуно́вские бани) - public baths in Moscow, Russia that were first opened in 1896. Its building is a cultural and architectural landmark in Moscow center located at 14 Neglinnaya street.
The name is derived from a Georgian nobleman Sila Nikolaevich Sandunov (Sandukeli in Georgian) (1756—1820), who was an actor at the court of Catherine II in during the 1790s. He bought a land plot on the Neglinnaya river in 1800 to construct baths there.
In 1869, owned by kupets (merchantman) and landlord Ivan Grigorievich Firsanov, the baths were willed to Ivan Firsanov's only daughter, Vera Ivanovna, after his death in 1881.
After Vera divorced with her first hated husband, she married again to the officer Alexey Nikolayevich Ganetskiy, who was a son of General Nikolai Stepanovich Ganetskiy, participant of the Crimean War. Alexey proposed the idea of building new baths of the like Moscow had never before seen on the place of the decaying building.
In 1894, Ganetskiy hired a well-known architect by the name of Boris Viktorovich Freidenberg, but he dropped the project and left Moscow. However, the baths were finished by S.M. Kalugin and opened on February 14, 1896.
The baths received water via a specially built aqueduct from the Babyegorodskaya Dam on the Moscow river and from 700 feet of artesian well. Electrical illumination was provided by a private electro-station, which was also used on the coronation of Nikolai II.
Besides the baths, Sanduny also included a hotel, restaurants, and even the Zoological shop of F. A. Achilles.
Sanduny was serviced by approximately 400 attendants.
Not long after completion, Ganetskiy lost ownership of Sanduny playing cards; afterward, Vera Ivanovna paid his debts and divorced again.
