Palace of Kuskovo, 18th-century palace estate in Veshnyaki District, Moscow, Russia
The Kuskovo estate extends across 300 hectares, featuring a central palace, formal gardens, ornamental ponds, and multiple architectural pavilions throughout the grounds.
Count Boris Sheremetev, a field marshal under Peter the Great, purchased the estate in 1715, transforming it from a modest property into a grand summer residence.
The estate currently houses the Russian State Museum of Ceramics, displaying over thirty thousand pieces of porcelain from Russian and European manufacturers.
The estate functions as both a museum and public park, with regular operating hours and accessibility through Moscow's public transportation system.
The estate's Grotto pavilion incorporates authentic seashells in its decoration, making it an exceptional example of maritime-themed architecture in Russia.
