History

The quarter in which Romanov Dvor is located today appeared at the end of the Middle Ages, at the turn of the 16-17th centuries. One of the first owners was Ivan Romanov, the uncle of the first tsar of the Romanov dynasty. After that, the estate passed into the possession of Lev Naryshkin, whose name is associated with the emergence of the "Naryshkin Baroque" in architecture, which combined Russian traditions and European trends. At the turn of the 18-19th centuries, Count Sheremetyev, one of the richest people of his time, became the owner. However, soon, during a fire in 1812, the estate burned down, and the appearance of the quarter completely changed under the leadership of the architect and restorer Fyodor Richter. Later, the Moscow City Duma moved to the Sheremetyevs' estate, and at the end of the 19th century, the "Hunting Club" was opened, whose members at one time became Golitsyn, Chekhov, Stanislavsky and others.

The estate, named after its first owner Ivan Romanov, became a new secular place. It held exhibitions of art workers, rehearsals of the Moscow Art Theater, party conventions, lectures and balls.
