Булдаков усадьбаһы, Federal heritage estate in Veliky Ustyug, Russia
The Buldakov Estate is a manor house with traditional Russian features in Veliky Ustyug. The main residential building is accompanied by several auxiliary structures on the grounds that together preserve a complete historic property.
The property was built during the 18th and 19th centuries as the residence of Mikhail Matveevich Buldakov, a wealthy merchant. He became known for organizing trade journeys and commercial expeditions to distant regions.
The name comes from the merchant family who made this their home and built their life here. Visitors can still see the rooms where the family gathered and welcomed guests from across the trade networks.
The estate is best explored with a guide who can explain the architecture and the different rooms. It helps to wear comfortable shoes as you walk through multiple buildings and across the grounds.
Many of the original decorative and ornamental elements from the period of construction remain intact, showing the craftsmanship of that era. This level of detail in preservation sets it apart from other estates in the surrounding region.
