Mordvinovka Estate

The Mordvinov estate in Lomonosov, located in Serov Lane, is a historical object of the 18th–19th centuries, included in the register by the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 527 of July 10, 2001. Until 1718, this land on the Peterhof road belonged to Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich, and from 1751 to 1783, the estate was owned by Count Roman Illarionovich Vorontsov. In the 1890s, the territory of the estate expanded due to the purchase of the Lamzdorf dacha, and the adjacent Mordvinovka area (Oranienbaum colony) emerged in 1812 after the resettlement of four German families here. The famous oaks of the estate, including the pedunculate oak near house 2A on Nemkov Street, are depicted in Ivan Shishkin's paintings "Mordvinov Oaks" and "In the Forest of Countess Mordvinova," which are kept in the Russian Museum and the Tretyakov Gallery, respectively.
