The Zhernovka estate, built in the classical style in 1790, is known as the property of the Russian publicist Nikolai Bezobrazov. Originally, the land on the banks of the Okhta belonged to General Ivan Buturlin from 1712 to 1738. After his death, the plot passed to Fyodor Soymonov, who later sold it to Alexei Zherebtsov. It was under Zherebtsov that the estate received the name Zhernovka.

Later, the plot was acquired by the Donaurov family, representatives of an ancient Georgian lineage. Gavriil Donaurov, a state councilor under Paul I, and his son Mikhail, who headed the Cabinet of His Majesty Emperor Paul, made significant contributions to the development of the estate. The architectural design of the estate is attributed to Giacomo Quarenghi, a renowned architect who created many buildings in St. Petersburg. The estate, built in the classical style, included a large reception hall and a park.

In 1806, the estate passed to Colonel Fyodor Poltoratsky, and then to Ekaterina Sukhozanet and other owners, including Yegor Sivers and Sebastian Kramer. In 1853, the estate became known as the Bezobrazov dacha. Nikolai Bezobrazov carried out significant renovations, including the installation of plumbing and the construction of a new house.

After the revolution, the estate was used as a club and museum, but during the Soviet period, it fell into disrepair. In the 1950s, it was placed under state protection and partially restored. However, the appearance of the estate leaves much to be desired: the territory has overgrown, and industrial zones and high-rise buildings are nearby. Today, the estate is rented out and available for visits as part of excursions.
