Shakhmatovo, Literary museum in Solnechnogorsky District, Russia.
The restored wooden manor house exhibits personal belongings and memorabilia of poet Alexander Blok within reconstructed period interiors and furnishings.
The estate belonged to the Bekelov family since 1874 and served as summer residence for Alexander Blok until 1916, before being burned down in 1921.
The museum complex preserves the connection between the Mendeleev and Bekelov-Blok families through exhibitions, documents, and photographs from the Silver Age period.
The museum estate covers 307 hectares and includes guided tours through the main house, gardens, and the nearby Church of Michael the Archangel.
A large glacial boulder on the estate grounds, known as the Babiy Stone, marks a special place where Alexander Blok wrote several of his poems.
