🌳 Children's Park “Trubetskoy Estate in Khamovniki”

ул. Усачёва, 1

The park of the former Trubetskoy estate with a pond and a main house: the authentic wooden house burned down in 2001, and a concrete copy was built in its place in 2002.

The first mention of the village of Sadki that stood here dates to 1683, when Prince Vasily Golitsyn received the land.
Under Nikita Trubetskoy two ponds were dug in the garden; the larger one has a complex shape, with islets and rotunda gazebos.
According to the historian Mikhail Pogodin, Alexander Pushkin visited Trubetskoy's estate after the coronation celebrations of Nicholas I.
The park is called “Mandelstam Park”, but after the revolutionary Alexander Mandelstam, secretary of the Khamovniki district committee in 1921–1922, not the poet.
In 1936 Moscow's first children's park opened here, with a theatre, a stage and a “military town”.
The old wooden house burned down in 2001, and a concrete copy was built in its place in 2002.
