Golytsin estate, Noble estate in Khamovniki District, Russia.

The Golytsin estate is a classical mansion in Moscow's Khamovniki District with symmetrical wings and detailed stonework at its entrances. The building was designed by Matvey Kazakov and shows clear geometric proportions along with decorative details on its facades and gates.

The estate traces to 1638, when a census listed Pimen Yushkov as owner; in 1724 it was sold to Prince Mikhail Golitsyn the Younger. In 1759–1766 Savva Chevakinsky rebuilt the main house in early classicism, with interiors by Ivan Mergasov and Ivan Zherebtsov. For Catherine II's 1775 visit, Matvey Kazakov added a six-column Corinthian portico and a wooden Prechistensky Palace, dismantled after her departure.

The estate's name comes from the Golitsyn princes, whose carved coat of arms and the monogram "PMG" (Prince Michail Golitzin) still mark the 1770 entrance gates. From 1870 the ground floor was rented out; the playwright Alexander Ostrovsky lived here and wrote "The Dowerless Girl" (Bespridannitsa) in these rooms.

The estate stands at 14 Znamensky Lane, in the Khamovniki District, near the Kropotkinskaya metro station. Since 2006 the left wing has housed the Gallery of 19th and 20th Century European and American Art, so the courtyard is reached through the museum entrance. The gates facing the lane, built in 1770, carry the Golitsyn coat of arms and the monogram "PMG".

The estate's gates, built in 1770, carry the Golitsyn family coat of arms and the monogram "PMG" for Prince Mikhail Golitsyn. In 1812, French ambassador Armand de Caulaincourt and his staff saved a carriage collection from the fire here.
