Hôtel particulier Karamychev

Hôtel particulier Karamychev is a mansion in Meshchansky District built in the 1800s by architects Bernhard Freudenberg and Iosif Kaminsky. The structure combines European design traditions with Russian construction methods visible in its walls and decorative elements.

The mansion was built when Moscow was experiencing rapid growth in grand homes for the nobility during the 1800s. This construction period shaped the city's character and reflected the prosperity of wealthy families.

The mansion shows how wealthy families arranged their living spaces and decorated their rooms during the 1800s. The details throughout the house reveal the tastes and daily habits of this social class.

The building sits in the historic part of Meshchansky District and can be reached by walking or public transport. Visitors should check ahead about which rooms are open to enter, as the site does not always allow access to all areas.

Each room holds architectural details that show how Russian builders reinterpreted Western European style elements for this house. This blend emerged from exchanges between craftspeople and builders who came from different regions.
