Kushelevka, Manor of the Kushelev-Bezborodko Family
Kushelevka, Manor of the Kushelev-Bezborodko Family, Neoclassical manor estate in Kalininsky District, Russia.
Kushelevka is a two-story neoclassical manor situated on Sverdlovskaya Embankment with granite sphinxes lining the waterfront. The building sits within a decorative landscape park that complements its refined architectural proportions.
Construction of the manor began in 1773 and underwent major transformation by architect Giacomo Quarenghi from 1783 to 1787. This redesign established the neoclassical style that defines the building today.
The Kushelev-Bezborodko family built an important art collection here, featuring French paintings and other works that shaped local cultural life. You can still sense this artistic legacy when walking through the preserved rooms.
The manor was restored by a private investor with modern systems carefully integrated into its historic structure. Plan to spend time exploring the various rooms with their original decorative elements and furnishings.
The manor contains rooms decorated across different time periods by notable architects including R. von Genrichsen, N. Benois, and A. Hammerstedt. These layered interior styles reveal how design preferences evolved through successive generations of ownership.
