#AmazingRussia ๐ค๐โค The Pskov region, Orekhovno Estate
๐The Pskov region is home to the only European garden in Russia, the Orekhovno estate. It belongs to Russian landscape architect Alexander Grivko, who created the garden in memory of his mother. Despite its status as a private estate, the area is open to the public.
๐ณOrekhovno is distinguished by the fact that different styles are combined in one garden: Renaissance garden, English landscape garden, French regular and Russian manor garden.
๐ฐIn the center of the estate was built a small castle in the Norman style. On one side it is surrounded by an Italian garden with lilies of the valley, crocuses, snowdrops and a sculpture of Cupid with a bow. On the other side the castle is surrounded by winding paths of an English landscape garden. Empress Catherine II started the fashion for them in Russia.
๐บ๐Here you can stroll through green rooms, where instead of walls there are hedges of linden, briar and thuja. There are also estates and a greenhouse with exotic plants on the territory. Its pink apple trees are particularly popular.

๐๐Beauty of autumn in Mikhailovskoye (Alexander Pushkin's Estate)
๐ณThe land which made up Mikhalovskaya Guba was granted in perpetuity by decree of Empress Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, to Pushkinโs great-grandfather, Abram Petrovich Gannibal, known as "the Negro of Peter the Great", for his services to Russia.
๐ณThe poet first visited the family estate just after graduating from Tsarskoye Selo lycee and was enchanted by the natural beauty of the place, the poetry of the peasant life and the aura of the past.
๐๐From 1824 until the end of his life Pushkin made frequent visit to Mikhailovskoye, where he also spent two years in exile. Mikhailovskoye became for him a place of intensive poetic creation.
๐Nowadays Mikhaylovskoye Museum Reserve is a museum reserve complex dedicated to Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, the founder of modern Russian literature.
