About the park
Neskuchny Garden occupies the high right bank of the Moskva River, where ravines cut into the slope and garden bridges cross them. In the northern Demidov estate, the garden was laid out like an amphitheatre: six rectangular terraces led from the palace towards the river. Bosquets and stone greenhouses stood on the terraces, with a large pond below; the gardeners linked the upper part of the estate to the riverbank. The park’s historic buildings still relate to the shape of the land: the Summer House stands by the river, the Bath House by the pond and the Hunting Lodge by a ravine.

The garden began as a group of separate estates. The Trubetskoy estate is dated to 1728; in the first half of the 19th century it was joined with the northern Orlov estate and the Golitsyn land between them. Nicholas I acquired the Orlov holdings in 1832, and the state bought the Golitsyn estate in 1842, after the princess’s death. The southern, central and northern parts thus came under a single owner. In the mid-18th century, Prokofy Demidov had established a botanical garden in the north, with more than 2,000 plant species. Tropical plants grew in stone greenhouses, while pineapples and grapes were cultivated in hotbeds. In 1923, the garden hosted the first All-Russian Agricultural and Handicrafts Exhibition; its central parterre is reflected in the park’s modern layout.
Birds recorded nearby include mallard, ruddy shelduck, European starling, hooded crow and rock pigeon.
