Manor Bykovo

russia, Moscow
A large estate complex located in the park of the village of Bykovo, near Moscow. It is considered an outstanding example of Russian architecture. According to historical data, the first owner of the village was governor Illarion, who received it as a gift from Tsar Peter I. Later on, the village, along with all the buildings and the ennobled park, belonged to various representatives of famous noble families, including the Vorontsovs and Izmailovs. It is believed that the author of the project of the main house of the estate - the palace - was the famous Russian architect Vasily Bazhenov. At the end of the 18th century, a white-stone church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God in pseudo-Gothic style was erected on the estate. After the October Revolution, the palace served as a children's colony, and after the Second World War - as a tuberculosis sanatorium; the church housed a garment factory, then it was used as a warehouse until it was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1989.

South-East of the Moscow region, the village of Bykovo. Amazing place for beauty and feeling! Went on a family trip with kids. We enjoyed walking in the old park and listening to the guide. She shared with us her author's findings, interspersing figures and facts with stories about human destinies. Church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God. The beauty of this temple is amazing: gothic elements, two floors with different interiors, intrigue in the project, which historians still argue about, the tragic love story of the owner of the estate, which caused alterations and the difficult years of the Soviet era.
