The Lopasnya-Zachatievskoye Estate Museum is a monument of architecture and landscape art of the 18th – 19th centuries of federal significance. The museum's exhibition is dedicated to the history of family and friendly ties between the owners of the Vasilchikov estate and the Pushkins, Lanskys and Goncharovs. Although the museum is still very young, it already has an interesting exhibition dedicated to the owners and guests of the estate, their life, leisure, and their contribution to the history and culture of Russia.

Adjacent to the house is a picturesque landscaped park with traces of a regular layout, with 7 cascading ponds. The windows of the estate open directly onto the park, and the foliage of centuries-old trees brings coolness and freshness to the halls. The interiors of the house, thanks to carefully completed restoration work, have been restored to the way they were in the second half of the 19th century, when the descendants of A.S. lived here.

During this period, the name “Goncharovsky House” was assigned to the main house of the estate, and later the estate began to be called “Pushkinskoye Gnezdo”. One of the many family nests, Lopasnya-Zachatievskoe, thanks to the destinies of several generations of noble nobility intertwined under its roof, is a universally significant phenomenon for our culture.
