Peshkovo Manor

On the map of Russia there are estates that did not play any significant role in history, but nevertheless are an integral part of Russian culture. One of these estates is Peshkovo. From the former grandeur, little has been preserved here, but the old park with centuries-old trees continues to be a “frontier” that opposes the development and immerses us in the past.

Among the historical documents, very little data has been preserved about the Peshkovo estate, except for the report that in the second half of the XVIII century it belonged to the outhouse adviser N.I. Durnovo, whose relatives subsequently inherited the estate. Then the estate was owned by a certain Mrs. Frisch, and after her owners changed several times.

According to archival documents, it was possible to reconstruct the appearance of the estate complex. It included a residential house, wooden wings, greenhouse, stables, poultry houses and other outbuildings. All this testified that at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries Peshkovo was a very developed landlord economy. To this day, only a small outbuilding, a bath and a small part of a linden park with ponds have survived.
