Znamenskoye-Sadki

It lies in the southern section of Bitsa Park in the South-South-West of Moscow, outside today's MKAD.

Since the middle of 18th century and almost until the October Revolution (1917) this estate belonged to the Trubetskoy family.

Znamenskoye-Sadki was visited by many prominent men of letters and arts, the Grand Princes and Tsars.

In 1918 the main house of Znamenskoye-Sadki estate passed to a workers' cooperative.

Currently the estate is a neglected park with remaining ponds, the central house and ruins of the stables.
