It was in Spasskoye-Lutovinovo that Turgenev wrote most of his works, in which discriptions of the Spasskoye House and park take up many pages. Life in the neighbouring estates is also mirrored in his works. In 1968 in connection with the 150th anniversary of Turgenev's berth, the Government decreed that the house be restored. Avthentic furniture and other personal belongings of Turgenev were returned to the House. You walk up a few steps, open the door to the dining- room, and find yourself in the atmosphere of a rich old manor house. A huge oak spreads its mignty branches wide near the manor house. Turgenev himself planted it as a child. Next to the oak, you can see wonderfull ancient park.
