Where to go with a child in Krasnogorsk
In the small village of Ilinskoye there is an estate with the same name. It was built in 1666 for the family of boyar Streshnev from Moscow. At the beginning of the 19th century, the estate began to belong to the Osterman-Tolstoy family. Under him, a mansion with 2 floors was built here, and a park was laid out in the British style. By the end of the century, the emperor's family began to own the estate. Today there is a rest house here.
The most beautiful estates in the Moscow region
In the territory adjacent to Krasnogorsk, many buildings of former estates that belonged to the nobles during Tsarist Russia have survived to this day. Not every one of them today has a beautiful appearance and interior decoration, but it’s worth taking some time to inspect them. Moreover, here you can find real pearls of the Moscow region.
Arkhangelskoye Estate
- Address – village. Arkhangelskoe.
The estate museum was built more than three centuries ago and is one of the largest surviving estates in the Moscow region. This palace and park complex stands out for its magnificent architecture dating back to the 18th-19th centuries, and its atmosphere of antiquity fascinates everyone.
The current exhibition contains interior and household items from Arkhangelsk dating back to the era of its greatest dawn - the 19th century. There is also some of the books that were part of the personal collection of the Yusupov library. Directly around the perimeter there are several more interesting buildings of that time that had different purposes.
Znamenskoye-Gubailovo Estate
- Address: District Center Street, 9.
The history of the estate dates back to the 17th century, when it was built on the wasteland that was previously located here. This area was granted to Semyon Volynsky because he had previously taken part in the famous Battle of Kulikovo.
Now not all buildings have been preserved here. You can see the building of the central house with its wings, the tomb of the family, the house where the manager lived, as well as the horse yard.
The architectural landmark is adjacent to the territory of a landscape park with numerous artificial reservoirs. In addition, a pair of Weymouth pines, which are more than two centuries old, have also been preserved here.
Petrovskoye Estate
- Address – s. Petrovskoe.
Initially, the estate was called Durnevo and began its own history in 1504. Over the centuries since then, the estate has had many owners, the last being the Prozorovsky princes.
Among tourists, in addition to the many times rebuilt estates and churches, the territory adjacent to the estate buildings often arouses considerable interest.
There is a multi-level park with numerous terraces and magnificent landscapes, an alley of linden and oak trees that are many centuries old. Walking here, it’s easy to mentally transport yourself to the reign of Catherine the Great or Elizabeth.
Estate Ilyinskoye
- Address – s. Ilyinskoe.
The estate was erected back in 1666 - then it was called “Luzhskoy”, presumably this name is associated with the water meadows located at this location, located on the territory of the Moscow River floodplain.
A new, modern name was given to it only after the construction of the Temple of Elijah the Prophet, which is considered one of the most valuable local architectural monuments.
A significant reconstruction of the estate was carried out in 1826. After this, it turned into one of the most luxurious ensembles. Then the mansion building was decorated with hanging gardens. A beautiful park, designed in the English style, has survived to this day.
St. Nicholas Church
St. Nicholas Church is considered an excellent example of the architectural style of classicism. It was first mentioned in records in the 2nd half of the 15th century. In 1817, a new stone cathedral was erected on the site of the church. A bell tower and a refectory were added to the main building. The facade of the building has a bright burgundy color and is decorated with light decorative components. During the Soviet era, the building was closed. They began to restore it only in 2002, after it was returned to believers.

Temple of the Archangel Michael
The sights of Krasnogorsk, Moscow region, cannot be imagined without numerous temples and churches. On the territory of the Arkhangelskoye estate there is a temple of the Archangel Michael. It was built in 1660. The famous mason Potekhin worked on its construction. In the 19th century, a bell tower with 3 tiers was added to the main building.
In 1919, the temple was closed, and its premises were transferred to the history museum. In the 2nd half of the 20th century, the building underwent a major restoration, restoring its original appearance. It was decided to demolish the bell tower, since it was erected much later than the main building.
Today it is a white stone church, the interior of which is divided into 2 chapels. The decoration of the temple is quite modest - there are white walls and brick floors. Currently, religious services are held in the church every day.
Art galleries of Krasnogorsk
Not all modern Russian cities can boast of having art galleries. There are currently two of them in Krasnogorsk and each is unique in the composition of the exhibition.
Gridchinhall
- Address: Tsentralnaya, 23, Dmitrovskoe.
We are talking about a modern art center that successfully combines the features of an ordinary museum and an art workshop. It was opened back in 2009 according to the idea of Sergei Gridchin, whose surname formed the basis for the name of the project.
Here, any modern artist has the opportunity to realize his new ideas, living here while working on his idea.
In addition to traditional exhibitions, the art gallery has become a venue for a variety of master classes and creative events, which involve famous contemporary artists. She participated several times in various exhibitions and international competitions.
Gallery "Feast of the Soul"
- Address: Kostrovo village, 24.
This gallery is home to the collection of most of the works of one of the most famous masters of Russia working in the technique of artistic forging - Valentin Vorobyov (pseudonym - Metalissimo).
The artist has already received the title of Honored Artist, and in recent years he has also begun to delight admirers as a writer. He is already a laureate of many Russian awards, and has participated more than once in competitions held both at the All-Russian and international levels.
The art gallery was initially given the name of one of the master’s works, which is recognized today as the best in terms of execution and the philosophical meaning embedded in it. Currently, more than fifty of his works are presented here.
Zverev Enterprise Museum
A museum was opened on the basis of Zverev’s enterprise, which was dedicated to the history of the formation of the plant and the equipment produced. The museum was opened in 1965 - it occupied an area of 285 square meters. In 2022, the museum was moved to a new building with renovations, and its area was increased to 500 square meters. On the 1st floor there are 2 halls with exhibitions.
One of them is dedicated to the manufacture of cameras, the other to optics in general. Among the objects on display you can notice different models of cameras and objects for satellites. Of particular interest is the 2nd floor of the museum, where it is possible to check the factory optics. Anyone can use a scope with optics, binoculars, night vision goggles.
Krasnogorsk museums
Like any other city with a rich history, Krasnogorsk is home to several quite interesting museums. Any of them is worthy of a visit.
State Archive of Film and Photo Documents
- Address – Rechnaya, 1.
The archive was established in 1926 after the corresponding decision of the Centrarchiv board on the need to create the first archive at that time with illustrations, as well as photographs and various films.
A new separate building was specially erected for it, where all special storage regimes had to be strictly observed. There were also film and photo laboratories, a special office where it was possible to view the necessary materials.
It was during the period of its creation that specialists developed a documentary base from scratch, from which they began to master the intricacies of technology for working with audiovisual documents.
Vadim Zadorozhny Museum of Technology
- Address – Arkhangelskoye village, Ilyinskoye highway, 4th km, s8.
The largest museum of technology in the Russian Federation today and one of the largest in all of Europe was founded by the head of the Russian antique guild, Vadim Zadorozhny, only in 2008.
Its history began with a street exhibition that included only ten military vehicles. Today, his collection has already grown to a volume of more than a thousand exhibits and occupies not only a large area on the street, but also its own three-story building.
Here you can examine not only military equipment, but also weapons, motorcycles, airplanes and one of the few collections of retro cars that exist in Russia.
Museum on the territory of the Zverev plant
- Address – Rechnaya, 8.
The museum, located on the square of this plant, has been operating in Krasnogorsk since 1964. Its creation was initiated by the then production director Egorov. The entire exhibition is located in two halls.
The first tells about what areas the plant is developing today. In it you can also get acquainted with the innovative technologies used to manufacture products, as well as with their samples.
The second hall reveals the history of how the industrial production of optics was born in Russia. The past of the immediate creation of the enterprise is also shown. Some of the local exhibits are unique.
Museum-Memorial of German Anti-Fascists
- Address: People's Militia, 15.
The opening of the Krasnogorsk museum attraction took place in 1985 on the site where a camp for German prisoners of war was once located. Until 1950, the same building belonged to the anti-fascist central school.
The exhibition contains German orders and medals, drawings and creative works of the prisoners of war themselves, their photographs, as well as footage from other camps and mass graves. Particularly impressive are the photographs depicting moments of punitive campaigns.
Uniforms (German and Soviet) of that time and samples of various bladed weapons are also on display in the halls. There are also selections of various newspapers published by the Germans, and surviving Soviet leaflets.
Little-known sights of the city of Krasnogorsk
You can get to some attractions in the Moscow region by metro. The Myakinino station is geographically located in the city of Krasnogorsk near Moscow. Its construction was carried out with money from the private investor Crocus Group, who not only built a large shopping and entertainment complex, but also a very interesting pedestrian bridge. It stretches across the Moscow River towards the Pavshinskaya floodplain.
In addition, not far from the metro are the futuristic building of the year-round ski complex “Snezh.Kom” and the government of the Moscow region.
What to see in Krasnogorsk from monuments
The monuments presented in Krasnogorsk are quite diverse. It’s worth seeing at least some of them to get a more complete impression of this city.
Monument to Plumbers
- Address: Lenina, 62.
An unusual monument was opened in Krasnogorsk in April 2015. It was dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the local Vodokanal branch, near whose building it was installed. The composition of the sculpture depicts two craftsmen who are trying to screw a valve with an ordinary key.
Its author, Ivan Savin, created the future monument directly on the territory of the enterprise. The object itself replaced another sculpture located here earlier - a water valve.
Sculpture "Sorrow"
- Address – s. Ilyinskoe.
The attraction is located on the territory of one of the estates in the Krasnogorsk region - Arkhangelsk. It is the only known sculpture by the German master Barth in Russia, made in the form of a drooping young man made of bronze, holding an almost extinguished torch.
It is necessary to mention that the monument was originally created as a tombstone. But Princess Yusupova, who bought this work at one time, decided to place it in the park adjacent to the estate. It is a sad coincidence that in the same year her eldest son, Nikolai, was shot dead during a duel.

A sculptor lives here, whose works are in the Leonardo da Vinci Museum
Indeed, the works of the Krasnogorsk artist Valentin Yakovlevich Vorobyov were highly appreciated by world museums. The French Louvre wanted to buy his sculpture “Grace”, but Vorobiev decided to keep this work for himself. But he donated one of his sculptures to the Italian Leonardo da Vinci Museum.
The artist lives in the village of Korostovo. He creates his sculptures from metal - Valentin Yakovlevich is a hereditary blacksmith. Some of his works are unique, in which the artistic image is surprisingly combined with a mechanism; such sculptures move. You can see them in the Iron Kingdom museum (Krasnogorsk, Korostovo village, 24).
Modern Krasnogorsk remembers its history
The city could become Optikogorsk
It turns out that the city received the name Krasnogorsk almost by accident. And they planned to call it thematically – Optikogorsk. The name, of course, is inconvenient, ugly and difficult to pronounce, but it would definitely convey the main purpose of the city, in which the optical plant became the city-forming enterprise. Fortunately for Krasnogorsk residents, this name did not stick, and the city, formed in 1940, began to be called Krasnogorsk after the name of one of the settlements included in the city - Krasnaya Gorka.
