Arkhangelskoye Estate Museum, Historical palace museum in Krasnogorsk District, Russia
Description
Arkhangelskoye Estate Museum is a grand palace complex with classical architecture, terraced grounds, sculptures, and fountains situated along the Moscow River. The property includes multiple exhibition buildings, extensive gardens, and a theater distributed across the estate.
History
The estate appeared first in 1584 as wooden buildings but was transformed into a stone palace between 1784 and 1820 by architects Jacques-Jacob Guerne and Giacomo Trombara. This reconstruction period shaped the appearance of the site as it appears today.
Culture
The collection of European paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries was gathered by Prince Nikolai Yusupov, a passionate art collector of his era. Visitors can see these works displayed throughout the palace rooms where they have hung for generations.
