Mansion of Count Sheremetyev. He began to belong to Count Sheremetyev after he was acquired from the Rozumovsky family, a noble nobleman of the Catherine epoch. In 1801, in the church of Simeon the Stylite, the count and his serf actress Zhemchugova were married. The event was secret so as not to disturb the respectable nobility by such an unequal marriage. But soon Praskovi Ivanovna Zhemchugovoy passed away - she died in 1803, soon after moving to the northern capital. And in 1809 Nikolai Petrovich Sheremetyev was gone. The mansion passed to the son Dmitry. He, like his father, was engaged in extensive charity. Grandson - Sergey Dmitrievich was the last of the Sheremetyev family who owned the house before the revolution. Translated with Google Translate
The route consists of three different districts of Moscow that are completely different from each other. City is modernity, offices, high-rise glass skyscrapers and the atmosphere of a business center in the super modern Western style. Arbat - old and new - is a window into the hysterical and Soviet past of the city. Alexander Garden and Red Square are the heart of Moscow. The route can be divided into three separate parts, and you can visit them a full day. Translated with Google Translate
