I think that many people know the name of the Russian writer
Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818 - 1883).
His novels "Dvoryanskoye Gnezdo" (Home of the Gentry),
"Nakanune" (On the Eve),
Otsy i Deti (Fathers and Sons),
Zapiski Okhotnika (A Sportsman's Sketches, or The Hunter's Sketches),
and many others have become classics of world literature.
Ivan Turgenev was born into a family of Russian land-owners in Oryol, Russia.
I was lucky, that the house of the great writer -estate located just 50 kilometers away from me.
And my family has been there several times already.
The first thing you meet when visiting the estate - this chapel and church.

The main wealth of the museum is the memorial house of Turgenev, with being in it a priceless collection of authentic Turgenev things , keeps alive the memory of the great Russian writer. Carved figured verandas, immersed in the greenery of ivy, small windows and porches mezzanine , suite of rooms and the interior - the whole appearance of the house helps to get into the spirit of Turgenev time.
Around the manor house on 40 acres is a magnificent park with a pond. Since the founding of the park remained about 2,000 lindens, ash, maple, spruce, oak, elm, birch, silver poplars. Park in the Spassky-Lutovinovo retained the characteristics of ancient manors and is considered one of the most beautiful manor parks Russia.
