Bolshie Vyazyomy

Bolshie Vyazyomy is a work settlement near Moscow with over 15,000 residents spread across residential neighborhoods. The area centers on a manor house dating to the 18th century, a 16th-century Transfiguration Cathedral, and is connected to the capital by regular bus services.

The area began as a postal station on an important trade route with first records dating to the 16th century. It later developed into a noble estate and underwent dramatic changes during the Napoleonic Wars.

The main manor house reflects its past as a wealthy country estate, where you can see the rooms that once hosted significant historical visitors. The architecture and preserved spaces tell the story of a life that once existed between Moscow and the countryside.

The area is easily reached by public transportation and uses postal code 143050 for mail. The best time to visit is from spring through autumn when the weather is pleasant and historical buildings are easily accessible.

The manor house witnessed a remarkable encounter when both a leading Russian military commander and a French emperor stayed there on consecutive days in 1812. This crossing of opposites makes the place a rare witness to that turbulent period.
