History and description
[edit]Pavel Vasilyevich Shabelsky bought the village of Semibalki and some part of lands of Cherkasova of a heathland from successors of their previous owner – Margarita Manuilovicha Blazo. After Pavel Vasilyevich, the estate passed into the order of his son Katon Pavlovich.

Katon Shabelsky was a large landowner – he possessed 17 807 tithes of the earth in the territory of the villages of New Margaritovka, Semibalki, Shabelsk and Port-Katon. In the 1860s, the manor had another owner, his son is Nikolay Antonovich Shabelsky. It brought to the village from another manner of 13 families which lived in the Kharkiv province earlier. Approximately in the second half of the 19th century the mansion was built.

At this time the owner practically did not live in the estate. When the manor became Pavel Nikolaevich Shabelsky's property, Vladimir Mikhailovich Turkin was appointed the managing director. It was engaged in affairs of the estate and provided with earnings of peasants: the fish plant of Turkin provided to fishermen of a tackle in exchange for fish, at the same time the catch made in winter time, peasants could keep. It is known that after 1912 Turkin constructed two-cool school in Semibalkakh. He married the servant, the peasant Anna Serdyuk, in the 1920s at spouses the son was born. In 1924 the family Turkinykh was dispossessed and sent into exile. Economic constructions and church were destroyed, but the house in which there lived the landowner — remained, and often it was called not the house of Shabelsky, but Turkin's house. Till 1956 in it there took place church services, then it was a warehouse and office. In the 21st century near Turkin's house grow popular, the facade is painted in cream color.[2]
