Petersburg: Estates of the City and Surroundings (Leningrad Region)

For Browsing

A couple of centuries ago, near Saint Petersburg, there were real luxurious estates. They began to appear alongside the development of Saint Petersburg, that is, already in the 18th century. By the beginning of the 20th century, there were about two thousand estates. Unfortunately, only about fifty of them have survived to this day. Some house museums, others are gradually being restored. And there are those estates in the Leningrad region that stand in an almost ruined state but still attract crowds of tourists with their former beauty. Mostly, all the estates occupied vast territories, which included a large manor house and a beautiful garden. Estates also had farm complexes, livestock yards, barns, and the land allowed for agricultural fields. Some estates often changed owners and were rebuilt, while others were true family nests passed down from generation to generation.
