Konstantinovo estate

Konstantinovo Estate is a rural property on an elevated bank of the Oka River in Ryazan Region, surrounded by gardens, various farm buildings, and park grounds. The site displays a typical country household layout with several structures that show how life was organized on a noble estate during the 19th century.

The estate originated as royal property and was first recorded in 1619, passing through several noble families including the Myshetskys and Volkonskys. It gained importance during the 19th century as it became a hub for literary and artistic activity in the region.

The estate is closely tied to poet Sergei Yesenin, who was born here in 1895. Visitors can walk through the rooms where he grew up and see how his surroundings shaped his writing.

Visitors should be prepared for uneven terrain and slopes toward the river, particularly after rain when paths can be slippery. The site is best explored during warmer months when all routes are accessible and the gardens are visible.

The estate preserves old beekeeping traditions with a museum showing how honey was produced by hand, as practiced here for generations. Visitors can learn about this craft, which remains part of daily life at the property today.
