Estate Heritage of the Vladimir Territory
Vladimir Khrapovitsky's Estate, Sudogda district, Muromtsevo village
It was built at the end of the 19th through the beginning of the 20th centuries. The estate used to be a unique architectural and park ensemble. Its owner was the last leader of the Vladimir nobility, Vladimir Semenovich Khrapovitsky. The estate had a beautiful dendrological park, a cascade of ponds, boat and music pavilions, a large cattle, and a horse yard.
After 1917, the estate was nationalised. From 1921 to 1976, the main building housed a forestry technical school.
Currently, the estate complex includes its main house, a horse and cattle yard, a church, a boat pavilion, as well as a partially preserved cascade of ponds and a music pavilion. The estate has a visitor centre to arrange individual and group tours and various events.
N.E. Zhukovsky's Estate Memorial House Museum, Sobinka district, Orekhovo village
The nobility estate with more than three hundred years of history is a manor park with two ponds, in which there is a one-story house with a mezzanine, balconies and terraces. The courtyard houses one of the interesting exhibits of the museum house – the MIG-17 aircraft. N.E. Zhukovsky, the 'father of Russian aviation' was born here, in Orekhovo.
Currently, a memorial complex dedicated to the life of the scientist has been recreated in the museum's exhibitions.
The most valuable exhibits of the museum are a unique collection of personal belongings and the library of the Zhukovsky family, as well as a collection of stamps on the aerospace topic. On an excursion in the Zhukovskys' beautifully decorated living room, guests will familiarise themselves with the traditions of Russian feasting in estates with the exquisite menu of Catherine’s times, the French cuisine and the rules of dining etiquette in a manor house.
Taneev Estate, Kovrov District, Marinino Village
The estate of the Taneev family is a monument to noble estates of the 18th through 19th centuries preserved almost in its original form. For more than 300 years, the estate was owned by one noble family, the Taneevs. The name of the outstanding Russian composer Sergei Ivanovich Taneev, who made a huge contribution to the Russian musical culture, is also associated with this place.
The central house of the estate is an authentic building of the mid-18th century. The house was built in 1758 by Mikhail Taneev, a retired major. In the middle of the 19th century, a park with excavation ponds, grottoes, a gazebo on an embankment, and marble sculptures was laid out around the central house. Even now, the estate park looks amazing – beautiful and well-groomed ponds, gazebos, swings, bridges and many flowers!
Currently, the estate is a branch of the Kovrov District Museum of History and Local Lore.
Golitsyn Estate, Yuriev-Polsky district, Sima village
The family estate of the Golitsyn family is located in Sima, Yuriev-Polsky district.
In the second half of the 18th century, a beautiful two-storey manor house was built with a mezzanine in the centre and wings on the sides. Behind the house there was a large regular park.
The estate became famous thanks to the name of Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration, the hero of the Battle of Borodino, who was a relative of the Golitsyns. The wounded commander was brought to this place, where he died and was buried.
The main house of the Golitsyns with a park, two outbuildings of the estate, and the Church of Dmitry of Thessaloniki in the estate have survived to this day. At the site of the first burial of P.I. Bagration in the village of Sima there is an obelisk, and there is a library and a folk museum dedicated to the history of the estate, its owners and P.I. Bagration.
