The culture of the Netherlands plays an important role in our national history. The reforms initiated by Peter I affected many areas, including architecture. In 1749, the construction of a new entertainment house dedicated to the era of Peter I began at the Kuskovo estate. An inscription indicating the time of construction has been preserved on its facade.

The Dutch house is a classic example of Russian estate culture of the mid-18th century, as similar buildings were very popular among the Russian nobility. It is considered one of the first artistically completed examples of such structures.

The house is built of red-brown brick and is characterized by the absence of excessive pomp and extravagance, which corresponds to the conciseness of Dutch architecture. Thanks to its sturdy construction, the building has retained its impeccable appearance to this day.

The building is located deep within the beautiful alleys of the estate, by the shore of a small pond where carp used to swim. The landscape design around it is also done in the Dutch style, creating associations with cozy estates of Western Europe. Upon entering the estate, guests saw it first among the small buildings, so it was considered the main pavilion.

Today, the house is open to museum visitors. Inside, the layout and main elements of architectural decor have been fully preserved. The exhibition allows one to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the life of a Dutch burgher in the mid-18th century.
