Arkhangelskoe Estate where to go in and arroun Moscow

Arkhangelskoe Estate

One-day trip to a beautiful place, situated though in the city but far from traffic jams, busy streets and thousands of people, might be the best way to spend a weekend in Moscow. One of the possible destinations is Arkhangelskoye estate: a 19th century complex of palaces and gardens, located around 20 km to the west of Moscow and 2 km southwest of Krasnogorsk.

​

The estate has seen many owners, all of whom were heads of noble families, close to the crown. Arkhangelskoye's oldest building is now the church of Archangel Michael of the early 17th century.

In the 19th century the estate belonged to the Yusupov family – one of the richest families in Russia, who also owned a famous (for some – infamous) palace in the center of St.Petersburg, where G.Rasputin was killed, and many other less well-known houses. The Yusupovs were people of a good taste; they appreciated the power of art, so they turned the territory into a picturesque series of houses and parks and gathered a unique collection of fine art including paintings, sculptures, furniture, ceramics and interior. Today all this can be enjoyed at the museum in the main building.
