Marfino is a suburban noble estate near Moscow, located 25 kilometers from the MKAD, in the village of the same name within the Mytishchi urban district, on the high bank of the Ucha River. From the 18th to the 20th centuries, it belonged to the Golitsyn, Saltykov, Orlov, and Panin families. It acquired its distinctive pseudo-Gothic appearance in the mid-19th century thanks to the efforts of Countess Sofya Panina and architect Mikhail Bykovsky.
