#AmazingRussia Today we invite you to one of the most romantic places in Moscow - the Kuskovo Memorial Estate.🤍💙❤
🌹At one time it was called the Versailles near Moscow, so much did it resemble the famous garden of the French kings with its beauty.
Count Pyotr Sheremetyev, a member of Russia’s richest family in Catherine the Great’s time, built Kuskovo in the mid-18th century (1769-1775).
🏰The palace was the principal building of Count Sheremetyev’s estate. It was created to receive European emperors and kings in the summer. During huge celebrations Kuskovo welcomed up to 30 thousand guests. 🎉
🏰⛲In the period 1976-1983 the palace was completely renovated. The decorative features were restored according to the original plans dating back to the 1780s and 90s.
