Kuskovo - Versailles in Moscow

by Kuznetsov_Sergey - last update: Jan 20, 2008

You may watch my high resolution photos of the Kuskovo Estate on my personal WebShot page Kuskovo
Kuskovo
The unique monument of the XVIIIth century, Kuskovo Estate, located in Perovsky district of Moscow (though it's situated in Moscovskaya oblast' on VT!), used to be the summer residence of Sheremetyev Counts. The architectural ensemble of the estate had been formed by the middle of the XVIIIth century.

Magnificent constructions such as the Palace, Grotto, Hermitage, Great stone conservatory, old church, and Italian and Dutch houses survived until nowadays. At Kuskovo there is also a very well preserved French regular park with ponds, pavilions and marble sculptures.

 The Kuskovo Estate is so beautiful and the family crest is stunning. The hermitage pavilion looks so tranquil! Wonderful page!

 What an amazing history Kuskovo has! Even more amazing is the number of beautiful buildings spread through such lush and picturesque grounds! Excellent page.
