On the territory of the 'Kuskovo' estate, the oldest building is the church dedicated to the Origin of the Honorable Trees of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord and the Most Merciful Savior, built in the late 1730s. Fifteen years later, architect Fyodor Argunov constructed the kitchen building, known as the kitchen or Pink Wing, which became an important part of the estate ensemble. The kitchen was placed separately from the main house to protect other buildings from potential fire.

The wing housed Russian and French kitchens, a tablecloth room, a bread room, and a coffee room. The building is designed in a unified style with the estate: its northern and southern facades are adorned with colonnades and tall arched windows, topped with a balustrade featuring vases and cartouches. The facade of the wing, like that of the palace, faces the Large Pond, creating a picturesque view of the Honorary Courtyard.

The 'Kuskovo' museum-estate, once the property of the Sheremetev counts, is now a well-known example of an architectural and artistic ensemble of the 18th century. It includes a palace, French and English parks decorated with sculptures, and pavilions such as the 'Grotto', 'Hermitage', a greenhouse, and Dutch and Italian houses.

In 1919, the estate was nationalized and a museum was established within it. In the 1930s, the church of the Origin of the Honorable Trees of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord was included in the estate. In 1938, the museum expanded its collection to include ceramics and glass from various countries, created by masters from antiquity to modern times.

In the palace of the Sheremetev counts, the original layout and decorative furnishings of the interiors have been preserved, including works of Russian and Western European art used in the decoration of the rooms.
