The village of Shablykino, which is the administrative center of the Shablykinsky district of the Oryol region, is located 68 km northwest of Oryol. It has been mentioned in historical documents since the 17th century. At the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, the village was part of the Dobrynsky stan of the Kromsky district, and from the second half of the 18th century, it became part of the Karachevsky district. The parish church of the Intercession of the Mother of God in Shablykino has been known since the first half of the 18th century, and in the early 19th century, a wooden St. George's church is mentioned. In 1833 and 1853, a stone St. George's church was built with the funds of N.V. Kireevsky, which has not survived. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the village belonged to the landowners Stremoukhins, Kireevskys, Rzhevskys, Chirkovs, and others.

Nikolai Vasilyevich Kireevsky inherited the village of Shablykino from his mother, Elizabeth Fyodorovna Kireevskaya (née Stremoukhov).

Contemporaries described Kireevsky's estate as a place where groves rustle, ponds glisten with bridges, thousands of flower varieties bloom, and where gazebos appeared on the site of a former bare field. The field over the fish-rich ponds was sown with hemp.

At the direction of N.V. Kireevsky, drainage works began on the marshy lands, followed by the establishment of a park and the construction of a manor house. The park was likely established in 1827, and its heyday came in the 1850s and 60s. However, plans and drawings from this period have not survived, nor have the names of the architects and gardeners who created the ensemble in Shablykino.

In the 1850s and 60s, the Shablykino park was written about by I.S. Turgenev, I.S. Aksakov, L.N. Tolstoy, and others. Its views were painted by R.K. Zhukovsky. The park was beautiful and remarkable, although still young.

N.V. Kireevsky, known as an original and passionate hunter, is mentioned in the book "40 Oddities of Russia." The charm of the park lay in the harmony of nature and architecture.

Kireevsky created a unique hydropower park with a large pond in the center and two other ponds occupying 40% of the territory. A network of canals and fountains was fed by the Mokh River.

The park's greenhouse housed 10,000 plants, and in summer, palms and tropical plants were brought into the park, giving it an exotic touch. However, after Kireevsky's death in 1870, the park began to decline.

The Shablykino estate passed to Kireevsky's relative, Sergey Vladimirovich Blokhin. By the end of the 19th century, Blokhin's estate was considered exemplary in the Oryol province due to its special management. However, architectural structures and the manor house gradually fell into disrepair. The main house burned down before 1917, and the park began to fall into neglect from the late 1910s.

Currently, work is underway to restore the park and architectural structures of the estate in Shablykino. In the future, this monument of manor architecture will become a cultural center and part of interesting excursion routes in the Oryol region.
