🏛 Sviblovo estate

Лазоревый пр., 15

A small 18th-century estate with the Baroque Trinity church of 1708 and a main house on a slope.

The village is first mentioned around 1417 in the will of Vasily I as the estate of the boyar Fyodor Sviblo, an associate of Dmitry Donskoy.
In 1721 the court returned the estate to the Pleshcheyevs, and the offended Kirill Naryshkin carried everything out of it, down to the door handles.
In 1723 the estate was rented by Duke Karl Friedrich of Holstein-Gottorp, son-in-law of Peter I.
In 1801–1803 Nikolay Karamzin rented a dacha here with his young wife Elizaveta Protasova.
The main house got its present look — a classical mansion with a colonnade and mezzanine — under the merchant Ivan Kozhevnikov, who bought the estate in 1821.
The core of the main house is the ground floor of Naryshkin's chambers of 1709–1714.
After the revolution the main house was turned into communal apartments for military personnel, which lasted until the 1980s.
