Shamil House, Kazan, Cultural heritage site in Old Tatar Settlement, Kazan, Russia.

The two-story brick mansion spans 430 square meters and features intricate turrets, wrought-iron elements, and stucco decorations on its exterior facades.

Built between 1861 and 1863 for merchant Ibragim Apakov, the house gained its name after his daughter married Shamil's third son in 1877.

The Literary Museum inside the building contains collections of Gabdulla Tukay's personal items, photographs, and documents representing Tatar literary heritage.

The Literary Museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday at Tukaevskaya Street 74, while the exterior remains accessible throughout the week.

The 1902 reconstruction by architects Heinrich Rusch and Ferdinand-Julius Amlong merged Tatar architectural elements with European design principles.
