«Chayka»

Chayka is an artist's country estate with two wooden structures built in traditional Russian style and decorated with carved details on every surface. The complex preserves rooms furnished with original pieces from the early 1900s.

The estate was founded in 1912 as an artist's residence and working space. It was built during an era when creators sought refuge in rural settings for both living and creating.

The complex shows how artists lived during the early 1900s, with original furnishings and artworks displayed throughout the rooms. Visitors get to see the personal spaces where a creator worked and gathered inspiration.

The site opens during the warmer months and visitors can explore both structures. Advance planning helps ensure a better experience when you arrive.

The garden was designed with a specific layout using plant varieties that the founder personally selected for the property. This arrangement shows how nature itself was part of the creative vision.
