Start your journey with a visit to the museum-reserve in Bolshiye Vyazemi.
Earlier this manor house belonged to Princes Golitsyn. Natalya Petrovna Golitsina served as a prototype of the old princess in the story "The Queen of Spades" to A.S. Pushkin.
An interesting fact: the princess, who was fond of playing cards, once lost her entire fortune, but immediately won it back, knowing the secret of the "three cards".
