Yasnaya Polyana, Historic estate in Tula Oblast, Russia
The estate encompasses 400 hectares of land with parks, gardens, alleys, ponds, and conservatories preserved from the 18th and 19th centuries.
The property first belonged to the Kartsev family in 1652, later transferred to the Volkonsky princes in 1763, and finally to the Tolstoy family.
Leo Tolstoy wrote his masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina in this estate, where his personal library contains over 22,000 books.
The estate operates from November to April between 9:00 and 17:00, and from May to October between 8:00 and 20:00, with Mondays reserved for maintenance.
The grave of Leo Tolstoy lies in the Old Zakaz forest without any monument or cross, following his specific request to be buried at the green stick location.
