Abandoned castle of Count Khrapovitsky
Castle of Count Khrapovitsky
Even despite its deplorable, dilapidated state, the estate is beautiful! A very unusual style for our architecture. Previously, entrance to the estate was free, now only with a guided tour. You can watch it for free only through the fence :)
