Manor of the Pronchicheves

This estate in the village of Bogimovo belonged to an ancient noble family - the Pronchchichevykh family. The estate consisted of a house with 25 rooms, two outbuildings, horse and cattle yards. The estate was adjacent to a regular park with the Assumption Church.

In 1891, the estate was visited by Anton Chekhov, who settled on the second floor of the main manor building. Here he wrote the story “Babies”, the story “Duel”, and also wrote “Sakhalin Island”. Here Chekhov met the artist Kiselev, zoologist Wagner. The artist Levitan also visited the estate.

Since 1936, a psychiatric hospital has been located in the estate.

Now in Bogimov, in addition to the main house, you can look at the one-storey wing, outbuildings of simple architecture, the Empire Assumption Church, a park with linden and pine alleys, as well as the monument to Chekhov.
