Lopukhins' Estate, Architectural estate in Khamovniki District, Russia.
Lopukhins' Estate is a three-story stone building in the Khamovniki District with two residential floors, cellars, and a distinctive western facade featuring a two-level porch. The structure displays typical features of noble architecture from its period, with solid construction and a carefully planned layout.
The estate was founded in 1689 by Fedor Lopukhin, father of Peter I's first wife. After its establishment, it underwent several transformations including its use as a detention facility for Swedish officers.
The family name derives from Slavic words related to tools and labor. The estate served for centuries as a residence for the nobility and retains traces of its role as a home for Russia's influential families.
The estate is located near the Moscow Kremlin in the historic Chertolye area, surrounded by former residences of noble Russian families such as the Golitsyns and Dolgoroukys. Its position within this historic quarter allows visitors to explore several noble residences from the same period.
Archaeological digs in the 1990s uncovered remains of a metal casting workshop from the 17th century. This discovery reveals that the location hosted craft activities before becoming a noble residence and served as an important production site.
