Description

Nikolskoye-Prozorovskoye, formerly known as Shipilovo, is an abandoned estate that belonged to the Prozorovsky princes, located in the Mytishchi district of the Moscow region, near Marfino.

The history of the name of this estate is rich and varied. It was formed on the basis of two settlements - Shipilovo and Nikolo-Prozorovo, at the end of the 18th century. The presence of the wooden church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker led to the appearance of a double name - Shipilovo and Nikolskoye. In 1862, the surname of the owners was indicated for the first time, and the estate began to be called Nikolskoye (Prozorovskoye, Prozorovo, Shipilovo). Over time, the name Shipilovo became a thing of the past, and the estate began to be called Nikolskoye-Prozorovo (1912), Nikolo-Prozorovskoye (1926) and Nikolo-Prozorovo.

Initially, the village of Shipilovo belonged to Prince Vasily Semenovich Serebryany, and then to boyar Nikita Yuryev, who built a church here in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. At the beginning of the 17th century, the village came into the possession of the princes Prozorovsky, Semyon and Matvey Vasilyevich. Later, the estate was fragmented between various branches of the Prozorovsky family and other families, but by 1747 it completely became the property of Prince Ivan Prozorovsky.

In the middle of the 19th century, Princess Varvara Yurievna Trubetskaya, the granddaughter of Ivan Prozorovsky, built a large two-story house in the Rastrelievo Baroque style, and her husband, diplomat Pavel Pavlovich Trubetskoy, lived abroad. In post-reform times, the estate belonged to various owners, including Franz Andreevich Rabenek, V. G. Sychev and V. P. Ryabushinsky.

Today Nikolskoye-Prozorovskoye is an abandoned complex that retains its historical and cultural value, although it is in need of restoration and preservation.
