Meyendorff Castle, Gothic Revival castle in Barvikha, Russia.

Meyendorff Castle exhibits Gothic Revival elements with pointed arches, ornate stonework details, and medieval-inspired turrets designed by architect Pyotr Boytsov.

The castle changed ownership during World War I when the Meyendorff family left Russia, leading to its occupation by Vladimir Lenin and Bolshevik leaders.

The estate transformed into a distinguished sanatorium in 1935, attracting notable visitors including author Mikhail Bulgakov and cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.

The castle functions as an official state residence, located 2 kilometers from Barvikha's center and accessible through guided tours during specific events.

The castle gained diplomatic significance by hosting the 2008 Meyendorff Declaration signing between Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders regarding Nagorno-Karabakh.

Location: Barvikha
