Tsaritsino museum and reserve in Moscow. (near Tsaritsino metro station and commuter suburb train station)
The estate is known since late 16th century, when it belonged to Tsarina Irina, sister of Tsar Boris Godunov. At that time it was called Bogorodskoye. In 1775 when the estate was bought by empress Catherine the Great it received its present name which means “Tsarina’s” (“Queen’s”). In 1776-85 architect Vasili Bazhenov built a new palace for the Empress here but in 1786 Catehrine ordered to partly destroy it. Until 1797, architect Matvey Kazakov was working on the construction but the palace remained unfinished. Currently, in Tsaritsino there are a history and architecture museum with a landscape park with an adjacent forest, an art museum, the Biryulyovo dendropark and a cascade of the Tsaritsino ponds.
Park comfortably accessible from Orekhovo or Tsaritsino Metro stations. Start at one and walk to the other through the whole park.
