From 1827 to 1829 the architect Michail Bykowsky was commissioned by the new owner of the place, Sofja Vladimirovna Orlova, to rebuild the mansion in the Russian pseudo-Gothic style. After the October Revolution , Marfino was nationalized. Most of the works of art and the library were given to the State Historical Museum . The military sanatorium used by the Ministry of Defense has been located here since 1944. The park has been open to all visitors since 2016.
