Спас-Угол, Noble estate in Taldomsky District, Russia
The Spas-Ugol estate includes a church built in 1795, with a refectory and bell tower added during the first half of the 19th century.
The estate belonged to the Saltykov family until 1918, when it was confiscated following the October Revolution and subsequently burned down in 1919.
Writer Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, born at the estate in 1826, depicted his life there in his final book 'Poshekhonskaya Starina' under the name Malinovets.
The museum dedicated to Saltykov-Shchedrin moved from the Transfiguration Church to its own modern building in January 2019, formerly a local administration office.
In August 1887, scientist Dmitri Mendeleev landed near the estate in a hot air balloon while conducting solar eclipse observations.
