Zinaida Morozova's mansion, designed in the neo-Gothic style, is located in the Presnensky district of Moscow. It belonged to Zinaida Grigorievna Morozova, the wife of the famous industrialist Savva Morozov. The building was constructed according to the design of architect Fyodor Shekhtel and is considered an outstanding example of early Moscow modernism. Since 1938, the mansion has served as the Reception House of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia. The Morozovs acquired the plot on Spiridonovka Street in 1893, and construction was completed in 1898. The interiors were decorated by Mikhail Vrubel.

After Savva Morozov's death, his widow sold the mansion to industrialist and philanthropist Mikhail Ryabushinsky, who emigrated in 1918. After nationalization, the building came under the jurisdiction of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs and was converted into the Ministry's Reception House. During World War II, meetings of the foreign ministers of the USA, Great Britain, and the USSR were held here. In 1995, the mansion was damaged by a fire but was restored based on preserved blueprints and photographs.

The first mentions of the house at Spiridonovka, 17 date back to the mid-18th century. At that time, the plot belonged to Privy Councillor Illarion Vorontsov. The main house was located deep in the garden and represented a classic urban estate of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

In 1812, the building and surrounding areas were severely damaged by the Moscow fire. In 1814, poet and statesman Ivan Dmitriev began constructing a new house according to the design of architect Alexander Vitberg. The new estate was built on a stone foundation with wooden ceilings, and the facade was adorned with two porticos, each with six columns. Dmitriev often hosted famous writers such as Alexander Pushkin and Nikolai Gogol.

In 1842, the estate was acquired by Nikolai Timofeevich Aksakov, the brother of writer and theater critic Sergey Aksakov. The house became a meeting place for cultural and public figures, gathering Slavophiles. Gradually, the owner sold off parts of the garden, and in 1893, the remaining portion was purchased by Zinaida Grigorievna Morozova.

The Morozov family decided to build a new house, and construction was completed in 1898. Zinaida Morozova transformed the mansion into a social salon and a center of cultural life in Moscow. Public figures and creative intelligentsia gathered here, including Sergey Witte, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, Anton Chekhov, Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, Isaac Levitan, Alexander Benois, and Fyodor Shalyapin, who often performed for a select group of guests.

Unlike his wife, Savva Morozov considered the Nikolskaya Manufactory his true home. He rarely participated in social events and preferred to spend evenings in his study. Enthralled by liberal ideas, Morozov allowed meetings of constitutional zemstvo members and sheltered revolutionary Nikolai Bauman from the police, who would stay overnight in his billiard room. Once, during one of these overnight stays, he was visited by Moscow's mayor Anatoly Reinbot. Later, Morozov revised his political views.

Today, Zinaida Morozova's mansion remains an important center of political and public life in Moscow. International conferences and meetings are regularly held here. The grand halls are also used for presentations of economic forums and fashion shows.
