Pushchino-on-Oka Manor
Pushchino-on-Oka (south-east of Serpukhov), Serpukhov district, Moscow region, Russian Federation
Description:
Manor Pushchino-on-Oka is located near the center of the city of the same name, on the high bank of the Oka River. From the estate complex, a three-storey house has been preserved, from which a once chic staircase leads to the river. A lime alley leads to the house, and a swampy pond has been preserved in the abandoned park. Despite the rich history of this place, the estate is in complete desolation, so those who seek solitude and peace feel best here. During walks along the paths there is a sad feeling that time is merciless even to the stone.
The first owners of the Pushchino-on-Oka estate were the Artsybashev family, who acquired it in 1799. At the end of the XIX century, the estate was bought by the famous tea merchant S. V. Perlov, who arranged a large-scale restructuring and remade the main house in the neoclassical style. In the following years, the owners of the estate changed many times, among them were very famous names in the country. Curiously, until recently, the house was in quite decent condition, and it was here that several historical films were filmed. But, unfortunately, in recent years, the estate is abandoned and on the verge of destruction.
