history

In 1783 the greenhouse and vineyard were added. The castle was built from 1785 to 1789. In 1799, Tsar Paul I bought it and gave it to Prince Lopukhin. The park got some rare trees as well as marble statues and bridges. It was not structured in clear axes according to the Russian school, but adapted to the original landscape so that there are calm and moving water as well as granite rocks and shallows. It was later supplemented and redesigned.
