Дом Разумовского — Шереметева, Federal cultural heritage site in Arbat District, Russia

The Razumovsky-Sheremetev House is a three-storey classical mansion at the corner of Vozdvizhenka Street and Romanov Lane, built in the 1790s and shaped as an obtuse-angled L to follow the streets. Its corner is a semicircular rotunda on a massive arched base, ringed by Tuscan columns and topped with a dome. Symmetrical side facades carry pediments and triple windows divided by small columns.

The corner house was built in the 1790s for Count Alexey Razumovsky, who sold it in 1799, almost finished, to his brother-in-law Nikolai Sheremetev; the architect is unknown but attributed to Matvey Kazakov's school. In 1801 Sheremetev celebrated his wedding here to the former serf actress Praskovya Kovalyova-Zhemchugova. After 1918 the house held communal apartments until 1980.

The house is named after Count Alexey Razumovsky, who commissioned it, and Nikolai Sheremetev, who bought it in 1799 and completed it. In 1801 Sheremetev celebrated his wedding here to Praskovya Kovalyova-Zhemchugova, a former serf actress. Under his son Dmitry the entire Vozdvizhenka building, with all its wings, was occupied by free apartments for employees and pensioners.

The building stands at the corner of Vozdvizhenka Street and Romanov Lane, at 8/1, building 1. The nearest metro is Arbatskaya on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line. The inner courtyard is now covered by a glazed space linking the mansion to a six-storey administrative building.

The house's wedding connection is easy to miss: in 1801 Nikolai Sheremetev celebrated his marriage here to Praskovya Kovalyova-Zhemchugova, a former serf actress. The architect is unknown; the design is attributed to Matvey Kazakov's school. Look for the corner semi-rotunda with Tuscan colonnade on an arched base.
