Ivanovskoe Palace

Ivanovskoe Palace is a white stone building featuring classical columns that frame both its main facades and sits on the bank of the Pakhra River. The estate combines residential areas with large reception rooms while maintaining its original architectural design.

The palace was built in the early 1800s by a wealthy count who gained the means to construct it through an advantageous marriage. The building later passed through different owners, from noble families to merchants.

The main reception hall with its tall windows served as a gathering place for local high society events and celebrations. The interior spaces still reflect how the Russian nobility lived during the 19th century.

The building has housed a museum for several decades, guiding visitors through its rooms and providing insight into its history. The riverside location makes the grounds easily accessible and the surrounding area invites a leisurely walk.

The parquet floors inside feature intricate patterns that have survived from century to century despite the building changing hands multiple times. These handcrafted floors are a rare example of the quality of construction from that era.
