Description:

The Nikolskoe-Uryupino estate is located in the village of Nikolo-Uryupino, Krasnogorsk district of the Moscow region. In the XVII century, the estate was owned by the Odoevsky princes, under whom the lord’s house was built, a wooden church, later replaced by a stone one. Then the estate was owned by Dolgorukovs, after which it passed to the Golitsyns, whose family owned the estate until 1917. Under Golitsyn there was a beautiful estate complex. In 1809-1811, a manor palace, the pavilion "White House", a park was built. In the 1840s - 1860s, a new manor ensemble was built.

In Soviet times, the estate housed a museum, then organizations subordinated to the Ministry of Defense. To this day, the lord’s winter house, the White House in the style of French classicism, which is a summer manor house, in which the details of the decoration and fresco painting, the St. Nicholas Church, returned to believers in 1991, have been preserved. Near the church, a necropolis survived, in which representatives of the Golitsyn and Khitrovo families are buried. Until now, fragments of landscape and regular parks, the ruins of the kitchen wing have been preserved.

In 2004, the manor house was badly damaged after a fire. Its restoration has been ongoing since 2005.
