    • Manor Ostafyevo.
    • The Golitsyn estate in Dubrovitsy.
    • Estate Ivanovskoe.
    From time immemorial, the Moscow nobility preferred to spend winters abroad, where the climate was milder, and summers in their manors near Moscow. Any manor near Moscow is bound to be associated with the names of Russia's great men and shrouded in some mystery.
    On this trip, you will get a chance to experience the atmosphere of country life of noble landlords.

    Остафьево

    Pushkin, Griboedov, Zhukovsky and Gogol often stayed at the manor of the Vyazemsky princes, therefore it is called the "Russian Parnassus". For 12 years N.M. Karamzin lived here, having written the first 8 volumes of the "History of the Russian State".
    Museum-estate Ostafyevo is closed to the public until January 21, 2021. The park is open for walks in the normal mode from 08:00 to 23:00 (entrance until 22:00).

    Музей Усадьба Ивановское

    A well-maintained manor house that used to belong to the Earls Tolstoys. Leo Tolstoy's grandfather collected rare books and manuscripts here. Artist Borisov-Musatov painted many landscapes in the park in the style of Russian impressionism. And restorers still can't figure out where the mysterious underground passages, dug under the estate, lead to.
    At the moment the manor is closed due to quarantine, but you can walk around its territory.
