Visiting L.N. Tolstoy

The culmination of the trip is the estate where the great Leo Tolstoy was born, lived and worked for 50 years. The legendary "War and peace", "Anna Karenina" and many other beloved works were written here.
The house of Leo Tolstoy carefully stores the conditions of the last year of his life. Personal belongings, a library (22 thousand books), pictures - everything is genuine. Even the Persian walnut table in the writer's study is still covered with green cloth.
The museum organizes more than a dozen excursions of all kinds (detailed information and booking contacts here).
Important: On Mondays, the farmstead is closed. Every last Tuesday of the month is a sanitary day.

The picture of the journey would not be complete without the railway station, where Leo Nikolayevich received his mail, called friends by telephone, met guests. It was here in 1910 that Tolstoy was brought by the same mourning train.
Important: On Mondays and Tuesdays, Leo Tolstoy's railway exhibition is closed; the last Wednesday of each month is a sanitary day.

Lunch on the way back - in the best place in Serpukhov. A table is worth booking in advance, even for lunch.

Another estate related to the Tolstoy family. At the beginning of the XIX century, it belonged to Count Fyodor Tolstoy. Having grown rich through a lucrative marriage, he amassed one of the most comprehensive collections of rare books and manuscripts in Russia at that time. The brother of Fyodor Tolstoy, Ilya is the grandfather of Leo Tolstoy.
The manor house is closed to the public, but there is nothing to prevent you from wandering around the grounds and appreciating the classic exteriors.
