Today I will tell you about the Sheremetyevsky Palace in Ostankino. Unfortunately, the palace is currently being restored, so the photographs will show forests and other attributes of the construction site. The first photo shows a view of the palace and the church with.
In the 16th century, the village of Ostankino near Moscow belonged to clerk Vasily Shchekalov, who in 1584 built a pond in this place, planted a grove, built a house and a church. Of all this, only the pond has survived to this day. Everything else was destroyed during the Time of Troubles. The estate was restored in the 17th century by Prince Cherkassky, who was granted these possessions by Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich. One of the heiresses, the prince's great-granddaughter, marries Count Sheremetyev and Ostankino becomes his property as a dowry. The manor acquired its present appearance in the 18th-19th centuries. The construction of the palace itself was completed in 1795.
View of the palace church and the Sheremetyevsky palace, which is almost invisible for the trees. from the side of the pond. The pond, as I noted in, is terribly dirty and needs cleaning.
