A.P. Chekhov and unusual churches

The main value of the estate, located on the high bank of the rivers Pakhra and Desna near Podolsk, is the Church of the Sign of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was built according to a completely atypical for Orthodoxy project.
If it were not for the curiosity of Peter I Boris Golitsyn would not have completed construction of the church, crowned with a crown, in the style of early Italian Baroque. Intrigued? Let's go have a look at it!

Make a stop at the unusual and cosy Café Orangerie. Regardless of the weather outside, it seems that eternal summer always reigns here.
The menu is huge, to any taste. Meals cooked on open fire are worth special attention. Feel the aroma of shashlik and kebab and enjoy fresh snacks.

Visit A.P. Chekhov. Explore the estate where the writer spent the most productive 7 years of his life. In the shade of the local sprawling poplars, he wrote 42 works, including The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, and Ward No. 6.
The museum's collection numbers 30,000 items, including an overcoat, a hat, and Chekhov's famous white cape. In addition to the owner's possessions, you can visit the ambulatory, where Anton Pavlovich treated peasants with herbs grown here, and the weather station, where Chekhov's father kept his notes on the weather.
If you're lucky, you can become a spectator of the theatrical open-air "Chekhov. The Seagull" or, at least, participants in one of the interactive excursions that take place regularly. (See details here).
Important: The museum is not open on Mondays and the last Friday of each month.

The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in the Podmoklovo settlement is a magnificent example of temple architecture, which embodies many features and characteristics of Italian architecture. Take a short walk around the temple and along the banks of the Oka River.

You have finally made it to Serpukhov! End your unforgettable day with a dinner in a stylish restaurant occupying a separate building on three floors with a show kitchen concept. Here you will be able to watch the dishes of your choice being prepared.

Go to the hotel to rest and replenish your strength.
