Lyublino Park, Federal cultural heritage park in Lyublino District, Moscow, Russia.
Lyublino Park is a federal cultural heritage site in the Lyublino District of Moscow, laid out along the Churiliha River with a series of connected ponds running through it. Footpaths cross the green areas and link the different parts of the grounds to each other.
The park was created in the early 1800s by Nikolay Durasov, who commissioned architect Ivan Vasilevich Egotov to lay it out as an English-style landscape garden. Over the following decades the estate changed hands and was eventually opened to the public as a city park.
The Lyublino estate manor, a white building with a round dome, stands inside the park and can be spotted from the main paths. It was once used for theater performances and celebrations, and today it draws visitors who walk past it on the way through the grounds.
The easiest way to reach the park is on foot from Volzhskaya metro station. The grounds are split into two sections by Krasnodonskaya Street, so it helps to plan enough time to walk through both sides.
The manor house inside the park was designed so that its floor plan forms the shape of a cross when seen from above, which was unusual for a private country estate at the time. This shape is still readable today when you look at the building's outline on a map.
