Residence of Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich of Russia

Two British architects, Sherborn and Scott, designed the residence (a complex of cottages). It contains a residential house, cartwright, stable and so-called tea house for close friends that, unfortunately, has not remained to the present day. The single house of Boris Vladimirovich was entirely built out of imported bricks, rare wood, tiles and reflected the state of cottage building at the time.
