    A favorite estate of the great artist N.K. Roerich, where he spent his time working and looking for inspiration. Few of the original interiors of the house have survived. The only room, the furnishings of which have been restored by the available reproductions, is the dining-room. Nevertheless, the estate carefully preserves the artist's personal belongings and several original sketches from the early period of his work.
    The museum-estate is open from Wednesday to Sunday.

    Manor of Baron Wrangel

    Landmark
    Open Details
    Like many gentry estates, the estate of Baron Wrangel has a very tragic history: its owner was accused of hiding a spy and then killed by revolutionary sailors, and the Baron's wife secretly fled to Petrograd with the children.
    During Soviet times the mansion was used for a long time as a village school, and then it was looted and turned into ruins, only a reminder of its former splendor. However, in the outline of the dilapidated building and now easily identifiable features of the English Gothic.

    The cross-shaped stone church in the village of Russko-Vysotskoye was built by order of Count Orlov and was repeatedly rebuilt and enlarged at the expense of the landowners. After the October Revolution the church was almost unharmed, and during the Great Patriotic War the high bell tower was a landmark in the fighting. The church was finally destroyed in the postwar period.
    Today there is a small functioning chapel that is used for services. Access to the ruins of the ancient temple is open, you can walk around and appreciate its scale or look inside, take atmospheric photos and meditate on the eternal.
