🏛 "Heavenly Gates" of the Uzkoye estate

Санаторная аллея

One of the entrances to the old Uzkoye estate: from here an alley leads through the park to the main house and the 18th-century cascade ponds.

In 1629 Maxim Streshnev, a cousin of Tsarina Evdokia Lukyanovna, bought Uzkoye and set up an estate here.
Since 1922 the estate has housed a sanatorium for scientists, and since 1937 a sanatorium of the Academy of Sciences.
Lev Landau loved skiing here, and Andrey Kolmogorov loved swimming in the estate's ponds.
The large 1770s greenhouses are one of the earliest surviving greenhouse complexes in Moscow and the Moscow region.
The 1770s stables with a tower and an arch for carriages are a rare example of "memorial-triumphal" estate architecture.
In 1945 the walls of the main house were decorated with trophy paintings by European masters of the 17th–19th centuries.
In 2020 a memorial room of Boris Pasternak was opened at the sanatorium.
