Bogoroditsk. The estate of the counts of Bobrinsky
Hi everybody!

In early June, I went on a one-day road trip to the city of Bogoroditsk.

Bogoroditsk is a small town located three hours from Moscow. The main attraction of Bogoroditsk is the estate of the counts of Bobrinsky.

The Bobrinsky family originates from Alexei Grigorievich, the illegitimate son of Empress Catherine II and her favorite Grigory Orlov.

Catherine II bought land in Bogoroditsk specifically for Alexei.
It was planned to build a summer palace here, and the main estate was to be built in Bobriky (now it is the city of Donskoy).

But it so happened that the estate in Bobriky was never completed due to lack of funds, and the summer palace in Bogoroditsk became the main home of the Bobrinsky family.

After the revolution of 1917 the estate was nationalized. A sanatorium was created on its basis. During the Second World War, the palace was badly damaged and ruins remained from it.

It stood destroyed until the 60s. They already wanted to demolish it, but the local art teacher Pyotr Kobyakov actually saved it. Having put a lot of effort, he achieved the restoration of the palace, which was carried out for a long time, but in the end, all experts note that the restoration was carried out very high quality.

In 1988, a museum was opened in the estate.

Furniture, sculpture, paintings of the 18th-19th centuries are presented in the rooms of the palace. Guides tell about the history of Bogoroditsk and the Bobrinsky family.

Also, tourists can take a walk in the old manor park...

..and look into the church where representatives of the Bobrinsky family were baptized:
