🖼 Tolstoy Estate in Khamovniki

ул. Льва Толстого, 21

A preserved city estate where Tolstoy lived with his family in winters from 1882 to 1901, with its authentic interiors.

The main house was built in the early 19th century for Prince Ivan Meshchersky and survived the fire of 1812.
Tolstoy bought the estate in 1882 and spent his winters here until 1901.
About a hundred works were written here, including The Death of Ivan Ilyich, The Kreutzer Sonata and Resurrection.
Chekhov, Repin, Rachmaninoff, Chaliapin and Rimsky-Korsakov visited the Tolstoys here.
The museum opened in 1921, and the furnishings of the house are preserved almost completely.
