"An ancient royal estate overlooking the Moscow River and the site of some of the city’s oldest settlements, with origins reaching back to the Stone Age. While the estate museum charges admission, the extensive grounds are free to explore and feature the UNESCO‑listed 16th‑century Church of the Ascension (an early tent‑roof stone church), an elegant pavilion guarded by two stone lionesses, a beekeepers’ cottage and leafy groves including some of Moscow’s oldest oaks." - Nicola Iseard
