Останкино, Federal cultural heritage park in Ostankinsky District, Moscow, Russia.
Ostankino is a park with a palace in Moscow that spans a large area featuring landscaped gardens, walking paths, and a pond. The main structure is a palace building surrounded by green spaces and pathways designed for visitors to explore.
The site originated as an 18th-century estate built by a noble family as a private residence. During the 1930s the grounds were transformed into a public park to make it accessible to residents.
The palace within the grounds displays 18th-century craftsmanship that visitors can observe today through its rooms and decorative details. Its architecture reflects how affluent families lived and what they valued in their homes.
The site connects well to public transportation with multiple nearby options and welcomes visitors daily. The paths are designed for walking and offer plenty of space to stroll, though some areas may be uneven.
The palace was built using a design that allowed parts of it to be dismantled and reconfigured, an unusual approach for its time. This flexible construction method made it possible to adapt the interior spaces as needs changed.
