Estate (Russia)

The park adjacent to the estate most often had landscaoe character, like ponds, alleys, gazebos, grottos and more.

Urban noble estates, typical for Мoscow, and to a lesser extent for Saint Petersburg, usually included a master's house, "services" (stables, sheds, servants' quarters), and a small garden.

A number of estates that belonged to well-known patrons of the arts gained fame as important centers of cultural life (for example, Talashkino).

A significant part of the book collections and valuable works of art managed to be saved and placed in libraries and museums.

The basis of the construction was formed by albums with typical projects of buildings, that included estates.
