Leman manor, Federal cultural heritage site in Presnensky District, Russia.
Leman manor is a late 19th-century residential building in Moscow's Presnensky District, listed as a federal cultural heritage site in Russia. Its facade features a symmetrical layout of windows and decorative stonework typical of the period's private residential construction.
The building was designed by architect Adolf Erichson and completed in 1896, at a time when prosperous Muscovites were putting up substantial private homes in the city's expanding neighborhoods. It survived the major upheavals of the 20th century and remains standing today.
The manor takes its name from Leman, one of the private owners who lived there in the late 1800s. In Moscow, private residences were often referred to by the name of their owner, and this informal habit has stuck as the building's common identifier.
The manor sits in the Presnensky District and can be viewed from the street without any special access needed. If you want to go inside, it is worth checking beforehand whether entry is open to visitors, as this is not always the case.
Adolf Erichson, the architect behind the building, designed several structures in Moscow during the late 19th century but remains far less known than many of his contemporaries. Leman manor is one of the few surviving examples of his work that can still be seen today.
