Personally to visit and see all the sights and ancient palaces and temples located in the Leningrad region, usually do not have time even the locals. Too many in this region interesting and beautiful places. But some of them are special and visit them at the first opportunity. Such attractions include the Museum-estate "Rozhdestveno". Traditionally, this manor is associated with the Nabokov family (the one where was born the great writer). But in fact the estate has a long and interesting history.
In 1499, according to historical sources, the site of the modern village and housed the graveyard of the Great Nicholas. Peter First after the great Northern war gave these lands to Prince Alexei. The new owner ordered to build the Church of the Nativity of the virgin Mary on the highest hills. It is believed that the temple got its name and the entire town. When the Prince died, Catherine First gave the village the status of County town. For 20 years there appeared a new Church, stone houses, a military school, and Gostiny Dvor. However, in 1796 Rozhdestveno – again, the village transferred in perpetuity to the Advisor N. E. Ephraim and all his descendants by Paul the First. The majestic manor house, which today houses the Museum exhibition, was supposedly built in the late eighteenth century, the architect is unknown.
The Family of Ephraim, the estate was owned by a little more than half a century. In 1857 the estate was sold to the Y. D. Manukhino, and after they owned the First Guild merchant K. J. Bush. In the autumn of 1890, the manor was bought by I. V. Rukavishnikov – state councillor, gold mining. After his death the land and the Palace inherits his son. The next owner of the estate becomes Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov (nephew I. V. Rukavishnikova). However, the family of the great writer a short time enjoyed life in a new estate: the estate became the property of Nabokov in 1916, shortly before the revolution. But despite this, today the Museum-estate "Rozhdestveno" devoted to creativity of the writer and his family's lives. Manor house renovated interiors, here one can see many of the original household items, personal belongings and documents of the family Nabokov.
