Uzkoe

Uzkoe is a historical estate located in Moscow, Russia. It is situated in the Yuzhny Okrug (Southern Administrative Okrug) of the city. The estate's name is derived from the nearby Uzkoe village, which has been documented since the 17th century. The estate itself developed from a small rural settlement into a significant aristocratic residence over centuries.

The current manor house at Uzkoe was largely built in the 19th century, although earlier structures may have existed on the site. It has been associated with several prominent Russian families throughout its history. The estate is known for its picturesque landscape, which includes a park with mature trees and several ponds. Architectural elements of the estate, such as the main house and a small chapel, reflect the styles prevalent during the periods of their construction and renovation.

In the 20th century, the Uzkoe estate underwent various transformations. It was at one point used as a sanatorium and later became part of Moscow's urban development. Despite these changes, portions of the historical park and some of the estate's buildings have been preserved. The estate remains a notable example of a historical Moscow countryside residence, offering a glimpse into the architectural and landscape traditions of past eras. It is a designated cultural heritage site, acknowledging its historical and architectural significance.
