The first information about the village of Mikhalkovo dates back to 1623, when it was the estate of a serviceman Anton Zagoskin. In the XVIII century in the possession of the Dashkov princes, who in the middle of the XVIII century began to adapt the village to the estate.

In 1764, Ekaterina Dashkova sold the estate to Count Nikita Panin. In 1772, the estate goes to his brother Peter, a military general who had long dreamed of acquiring a country estate near Moscow. The owner introduces the idea of memories of the Bendery fortress conquered by him during the Russian-Turkish war.

From 1780 to 1784, the construction of stone pseudo-Gothic outbuildings of the manor from red brick is underway. The basis of the planning composition was adopted by the ceremonial courtyard, surrounded by a fence with wings included in it, to which a linden park with two ponds adjoined. In 1783, Peter Panin inherited from his brother a much longer Dugin patrimony in the Smolensk province, curtailed his work in Mikhalkov and moved to live in Dugino.

In 1803, the estate for 40 thousand rubles was bought by industrialist Dmitry Grachev, who was engaged in the production of cotton. By the 1880s, all buildings were subordinated to factory needs. Then the wings were built, the main house and almost all the decorative walls were dismantled, the gates were laid.

After 1933, the estate was used exclusively for the needs of the cloth industry. In the 1970s, housing and industrial construction began near the estate and directly on its territory.
