The "Kuskovo" Estate, originally owned by the Shremetyev family, is an excellent example of a typical 18th century Moscow residence. The estate was originally designed for receptions, celebrations and other festivities. More than 20 unique monuments of architecture with genuine interiors have been preserved including a Dutch palace, an Italian museum, a church, a grotto and a greenhouse. The buildings are located in a landscaped park in the French style, complete with ponds, sculptures and pavilions.
