Münnich Manor, Federal cultural heritage estate in Krasnoselsky District, Russia.
Münnich Manor is an estate in Krasnoselsky District composed of several buildings arranged around gardens. The property preserves the classical layout of a Russian noble villa with different residential and outbuilding structures.
The manor was established in 1760 and belonged to Burkhard Christoph von Münnich, a prominent field marshal of the Russian Army. The property dates to a period when Russia was modernizing and strengthening its military institutions.
The manor reflects architectural styles that Russian noble families favored in the 18th century, with classical elements visible in the preserved buildings today. The layout shows how wealthy families of that time lived and arranged their properties with gardens and multiple structures.
The property is accessible from Chekistov Street 19 and is managed today as a federally protected cultural monument. Visitors can view the exterior of the buildings and gardens, though it is best to check ahead for current access conditions.
Von Münnich played a key role in creating the Imperial Guard and implementing reforms that would shape Russian military structure. The manor stands as a quiet witness to these military transformations that would define Russia's security for decades.
