Homestead Dolgorukovy — Bobrinsky, Neoclassical estate in Presnensky District, Moscow, Russia.
The Homestead Dolgorukovy-Bobrinsky is a three-story central residence with two-story wing structures, decorated with Corinthian columns and carved stone details. Inside, the rooms retain their original layout with polychrome ornaments, stucco trim, fireplaces, and parquet floors throughout multiple halls.
The estate was built in the late 1700s by Prince Andrey Nikolaevich Dolgorukov as a private residence. A marriage in 1830 brought the property into the hands of the Bobrinsky family, whose name became connected to the estate ever since.
The estate's name reflects two noble families connected by marriage, an event that shaped the property's trajectory throughout the 19th century. Today the residence functions as a cultural venue where visitors encounter collections and exhibitions that keep the space active.
Visiting the estate works best when you check ahead about opening times, as the space is used by cultural institutions with varying schedules. The historic building remains accessible for those who plan their visit appropriately.
Two marble statues called Paris and Elena stand in the courtyard, originally brought from the Museum of Architecture in 1947. These sculptures remain among the most photographed elements visitors encounter when exploring the grounds.
