Melikhovo Manor

The Literary and Memorial Museum Reserve, as the estate is also called, was opened in 1940. The playwright's sister contributed to this. Thanks to her, the estate has been perfectly preserved to this day, despite the fact that it was built in 1894.

The patrimony of Chekhov is a master's house, a wing, a pond "Aquarium", a garden with centuries-old trees and a garden. In his country residence, the writer liked to receive guests and work. Here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, he felt comfortable.

A museum is now open in the manor house, where as exhibits the personal belongings of the playwright, furniture, manuscripts, paintings of artists who were presented to Chekhov as gifts. More than 10,000 things in total.

Near the main building of the estate there is an outbuilding, which also houses a small museum. For the curious there are exhibits of the XIX century. Mostly items from peasant household.

The museum is open every day.
