history
The palace was built in 1874 on behalf of General Kasakow for his daughter Nadezhda, who was her second marriage to the German-Baltic Baron Michael von Meyendorff (1861–1941), a son of Felix von Meyendorff and Princess Olga Gorchakov.
In 1905 the Russian tsar is said to have lived temporarily in the palace, after the October Revolution of 1917 Lenin lived there. It had been part of a sanatorium since 1935, but fell into disrepair in the following decades and was restored and luxuriously modernized in 2003.
