Restoration of the Rumyantsev-Zadunaysky Estate, a cultural heritage site of federal significance, has begun on 17/6 Maroseika Street in Moscow.
The manor house was built in 1782 in the eclectic style with elements of classicism and baroque. The question of authorship is still open - according to some experts, it belongs to Matvey Kazakov, according to others - Vasily Bazhenov. In 1793 the owner of the house became the commander General Field Marshal Pyotr Rumyatsev-Zadunaysky, who became famous during the Seven Years' and Russo-Turkish wars. The mansion acquired its modern appearance in the 1880s, when architect Georgiy Kaiser added decorations to its facade, in particular, sculptures with lyres.
During the Soviet era, the mansion was given to the representative office of the Belarusian SSR.
