Усадьба Охотниковых, Federal cultural heritage site in Khamovniki District, Moscow, Russia.
The Okhotnikov Estate is a neoclassical mansion featuring symmetrical facades and decorative details reflecting Russian architectural traditions. The building preserves its original interiors with furnishings and personal objects from the time of its inhabitants.
The residence was built in the 1760s for the wealthy Okhotnikov family, who were prominent landowners in Moscow. Over the following centuries, the property changed hands and uses while remaining an important cultural landmark.
The mansion reveals how wealthy Moscow families actually lived and conducted their affairs in the 18th century. The preserved furnishings and household objects tell stories of their daily routines and social customs.
The property is accessible only through scheduled guided tours with limited availability requiring advance registration. Visitors should arrange their visit in advance and check availability, as there are no regular daily opening times.
The garden still follows a geometric layout from the 18th century that blends European and Russian design principles. This original garden layout remains one of the few surviving examples of its kind from that era in the city.
