Sheremetevsky Castle (village of Yurino, Mari El)

The small village of Jurino, located on the Volga coast, in the Republic of Mari El, is famous for its main attraction. This is Sheremetyevo Castle.
The magnificent castle is located on the very shore of the great. Ragged turrets and towers, terraces and balconies, exquisite frames of window openings made of red and black brick in combination with white columns created a unique decorative pattern of the facade, and the perfectly executed carving creates volume and relief, reminiscent of ancient stucco. The legal owners of the castle were V.P. and O.D. Sheremetev. Olga Dmitrievna was the sister of General M. D. Skobelev. He was a frequent guest on the estate of his relatives. The owners gathered in their castle a huge collection of weapons, part of which belonged to Skobelev. The palace seems to grow out of a huge stone block: first, guests see the main tower, then small turrets. And only then the majestic structure of red and black brick, decorated with lace multi-sided roof, Gothic jagged walls and complex turrets, appears in all its splendor.
