Behold the magnificent Grachyovka, known as Moscow's Monte Carlo

This is the country estate of the Grachyov merchants in Khovrino. The astonishing palace was constructed in 1899 according to the design of the renowned architect Lev Kekushev. The building was inspired by the casino in Monte Carlo, which is why it's often referred to as Moscow's Monte Carlo. When I first learned about this palace around five years ago, I immediately began to dream of visiting its interior. It's a challenging task, as it currently houses a rehabilitation center.
