Hvorostyevo Manor

The estate of Khvorostyevo belonged to the nobles Chelischev and Kushelev. To this day have survived: the ruins of the outbuilding and the Trinity Church, as well as the neglected park.

The ensemble of the estate is made in the style of a Palladian villa, the lord's house was temple-like. It was a three-storey building with a domed belvedere, connected through galleries-colonnades with side one-storey wings. The interiors of the palace were exceptionally luxurious: for example, the walls of the house were decorated with gilded stucco and picturesque panels, paintings in ornamental style. The house had several ovens lined with Dutch irrigation tiles of the purest white color. The mahogany doors were richly decorated with bronze.

The fate of the palace is unenviable: after the abolition of serfdom, the owners of the estate went bankrupt, and the house fell into the hands of the landowner, who cut down centuries-old oaks and sold the decoration of the house. Initially, the palace served as a storehouse of potatoes, and then completely wiped off the face of the earth.
