Manor-Museum of A.S. Pushkin

The village of Petrovsky was formed in 1742 on the site of the village of Kuchan, on the shore of the lake. The estate, whose companion was Hannibal, became known as Petrovsky. The estate was built here under Abram Petrovich, as well as the house-office of the estate manager, a small winery and service buildings.

It passed to Pushkin’s great-uncle, Pyotr Abramovich Hannibal, a retired artillery major general, in 1781. From 1825 to 1839, Veniamin Petrovich, the son of Pyotr Abramovich, lived here, and after his death the estate passed into other hands that had nothing to do with the Pushkin family.

The Lord’s house, along with other buildings of the estate, has not survived to our time. They burned in 1918. But the park remained - an example of garden and park art of the eighteenth century.

Starting from 1936, the Hannibal estate became a famous museum-estate as part of the Pushkin Reserve, and in 1976 the house of P. A. Hannibal was restored, where an exposition dedicated to the ancestors of Pushkin and the estate life of Pushkin times was opened.
