Chamber of the deacon Andreyan Ratmanov

The Chamber of the deacon Andreyan Ratmanov is a significant monument of pre-Petrine architecture located in Moscow's Bolshoy Kozlovskiy lane. Built in the late 17th century and later remodeled in the 18th century, this structure showcases a blend of classical mansion design with its two outbuildings and main house. Historically, it was home to notable figures, including Vasily Sukhovo-Kobylin, a hero of the Patriotic War of 1812, and his artistic family. The building underwent restoration in the 1960s, revealing its original 17th-century chambers, which now house the non-profit Pushkin Library, making it a fascinating site for both tourists and researchers interested in Russian history and architecture.
