Manor of Athenevo

It so happened that the estate Afinevo in its entire history has changed many owners. Historians still argue about who was the first owner. The nobleman Stupishin was the third landowner of these lands. By his will, a lime park, artificial ponds with openwork bridges and the main lord's house in the classical style appeared in Afinevo.

After him, Afinevo went to the publisher and editor of the journal "Fatherland Notes" Svinin. He, in turn, practically did not live in the estate and sold it to the merchant Vlasov.

In 1913, the collector Bakhrushin became the full owner of the estate. He brought order to Athenaevo: he built a cattle yard and bred bees. But his peace was disturbed by the revolution. The estate was taken over by nationalists who destroyed everything.

To this day, only the church of Ionna the Forerunner, made in the style of Moscow Borocco, as well as a fountain, the foundation of the manor house and a path paved with marble, has survived. The memory of the former beauty of the estate is kept by centuries-old fir trees and lindens of the overgrown park.
