Usad'ba Znamenskoye-Rayok

Very strange remains of old civilization

Nice music

Ancient estates are always in fashion !!!

When visiting the estate, mixed feelings arise. On the one hand, fantasy helps to understand how gorgeous everything was at the time when it was built, walked, looked, lived. On the other hand, the current state of the estate, general decline, dilapidation and desolation - blows cold and disappointment. I hope the estate will not be allowed to fall into complete decay and sink into oblivion.

A very beautiful and unusual manor house for its round location. Free entrance and overgrown park of the lush times past. Very nice pond and bridge. However, it is unclear whether the restoration is in progress or not. Wikipedia says it will be a hotel and leased for 49 years. This is being done by Vladimir Mikhailovich Kononov (State Duma deputy + EdRo) from 2004 to the present, reconstruction is underway.
