Kuskovo is the summer country house of Sheremetev's noble family, constructed in mid 18th century. More than 20 unique buildings are available for research nowadays, including the Palace, the Grotto, the Large Stone Greenhouse, the ancient Church, etc. The estate's point of interest is the French Garden with its ponds, pavilions and marbles.
