Bratzevo, Estate in Yuzhnoye Tushino District, Russia
Bratzevo is an estate in Yuzhnoye Tushino District featuring a main house, secondary structures, and landscaped gardens on sloping ground near the Skhodnya River. The principal building has undergone comprehensive restoration of its classical style and now operates as a restaurant and event venue.
First documented in the 17th century, the property passed through the hands of several noble families including the Naryshkins, Stroganows, and Shcherbatows. The 1917 revolution marked a turning point after which the estate underwent significant changes in ownership and use.
The estate grounds and structures have served as a filming location for multiple Russian films, shaping how audiences visualize classic literary works. This role in cinema remains woven into how visitors experience the place today.
The grounds are accessible to visitors who wish to explore the restored spaces and gardens, making it suitable for a half-day or full-day outing. The main house contains a restaurant where guests can dine while taking in views of the property.
During the 1930s, the estate served as a rehabilitation center for polar explorers led by Otto Schmidt. This unusual chapter transformed the classical property into a hub for Arctic research and recovery.
