The history of the estate dates back to as far as 1715, when Peter I awarded the Kuskovo village to Boris Sheremetev, and for the next two centuries it remained to be Moscow’s finest example of the nobleman’s palace and park. 26-room Kuskovo wooden Palace was designed for entertaining guests in grand style. The rooms are lavishly decorated with silk-wallpaper, Flemish tapestry, frescos. The highlight is the ballroom with numerous mirrors and relief panels. The picturesque park was created in a formal regular French style with winding paths, tunnels of greenery. Within the park grounds there are a charming Italian Cottage, Grotto pavilion, Dutch and Swiss Cottages, old Greenhouse. Today the estate is the home of the Russian State Museum of Ceramics, and the park is a favorite place of recreation.
