The estate Nizhnie Derevenki, a monument of 19th-century architecture, was previously a village and estate of the princes Baryatinsky. Today it is located in the vicinity of the modern city of Lgov in the Kursk region, two kilometers south of its historical center.

In the late 18th century, the village was part of the lands of the Lgov, Rylsk, and Putivl districts and belonged to Princess Ekaterina Petrovna Golshtein-Bek, the granddaughter of Admiral of the Fleet Count N. F. Golovin. After marrying Prince Ivan Sergeyevich Baryatinsky, she transferred her holdings to him as a dowry.

After the death of Ivan Sergeyevich Baryatinsky, his eldest son, Ivan Ivanovich Baryatinsky, inherited these lands. He allocated a third of the estate, including Nizhnie Derevenki, to his sister Anna Ivanovna Baryatinskaya, who married Count Nikolai Alexandrovich Tolstoy. Later, the estate passed to her son, Count Alexander Nikolaevich Tolstoy, and then to his cousin, Prince Alexander Ivanovich Baryatinsky. Alexander Ivanovich owned the estate for a short time and transferred it to his younger brother, Prince Viktor Ivanovich Baryatinsky.

The estate then passed to their eldest son, Ivan Viktorovich Baryatinsky, who owned the estate until the 1917 revolution. The history of the estate's ownership is clearer than the history of its construction. The surviving buildings are stylistically and temporally diverse, suggesting that the estate was created simultaneously with the estate 'Marino' after 1811.

This is evidenced by letters from Ivan Ivanovich Baryatinsky, which mention the plan of the house and church of Countess Anna Ivanovna, as well as the plan of the adjacent land sent by architect Hofmann in 1816.

The classical one-story brick wing with a six-column portico, a wooden mansion with a mezzanine, and a pseudo-Gothic tower of the fence date back to the first half of the 19th century. Of particular note is the 'Shamil Tower,' a 19th-century architectural monument visible from the highway upon entering Lgov. This three-tiered tower-pavilion with a spiral staircase connected the three levels of the structure.

In 1868, Shamil, moving from Kaluga to Kiev, visited both 'Marino' and Nizhnie Derevenki, admiring the surroundings from the tower. Popular belief claims that he prayed in it. The other surviving buildings date from the turn of the 19th-20th centuries.

This is a two-story brick mansion in neoclassical forms with elements of modernism, connected to the wing by a passage, part of the fence, and a guardhouse at the western entrance. The household church and mansion near the 'Shamil Tower' were destroyed in the 20th century.

The estate is located in a picturesque park with a regular part near the architectural center. The park is famous for its two-hundred-year-old oaks and century-old linden trees, maples, elms, and pines. During the Great Patriotic War, a hospital was located here, followed by a sanatorium and a therapeutic department of a hospital.

In 1996, due to the emergency condition of the buildings, the hospital was relocated, and the estate is experiencing difficult times. This magnificent complex may lose its appearance due to unauthorized construction and destruction.
