Nikolina Gora

Nikolina Gora is a residential settlement spread across a large area along the Rublyovo-Uspenskoye highway, surrounded by century-old pine forests. The community features residential buildings, roads, and green spaces that integrate into the natural woodland setting.

The area originated as a monastery of Saint Nicholas on the Sand, established in 1473 and documented in historical records, then later transformed into a cooperative settlement. During World War II, this location played a significant role in regional defense operations.

The settlement became a residence for prominent scientists, composers, and writers, including Sergei Prokofiev and Peter Kapitsa, establishing its intellectual character.

The settlement operates with round-the-clock security checkpoints and complete utility infrastructure including water, electricity, and gas supply. Access is controlled and regulated as this is a gated residential community.

The settlement attracted prominent scientists, composers, and writers such as Sergei Prokofiev and Peter Kapitsa, who left their mark on the community's character. This connection to notable creative and intellectual figures remains part of the place's story.
