Description:
The Cherkizovo estate can be seen in the Kolomna district of the Moscow region. In the XV century, these lands were owned by the boyar Fyodor Stark-Serkizov. At the end of the XVII century, Prince M.A. Cherkassky built an estate here. In 1734-1749, the Assumption Church was built. In 1785, the owner of the estate became B.M. Cherkassky. Under him was erected a magnificent manor complex with a palace, wing, greenhouses, arena and psar yard. After 1861, the estate gradually fell into disrepair, most of the buildings were lost.
Currently, from all the manor buildings, a two-storey outbuilding in the style of classicism with a mezzanine, built in the XVIII century, the house Assumption Church, the pavilion and fragments of the landscape park have been preserved. All buildings have been severely damaged by time. Near the estate, on the township of Starka, is the St. Nicholas Church of the XVIII century.
