The former estate of the Kurakins, from the late 18th and 1840s, is located on a hill between the Maslovka and Neruch rivers. In 1685, Peter I granted this place to the Kurakin family, and it became one of their main estates.

The Kurakin family owned lands in the Oryol region since the 17th century. In 1683, these lands were transferred to Boris Ivanovich Kurakin, who was a close associate and relative of Peter I. In the mid-18th century, his grandson, Prince Boris Alexandrovich, owned the lands in the Oryol district, and after his death, they passed to his widow, Elena Stepanovna, born Apraksina.

In 1782, the estates were divided among the children. Alexei Borisovich Kurakin received the villages of Preobrazhenskoe and Aleksandrovskoye, as well as several villages with 2777 serfs. The village of Preobrazhenskoe became his favorite place, and it is with his name that the architectural history of this place begins. Until 1782, the only evidence of construction work was a report on the extension of the bell tower of the Preobrazhensky Church in 1775.

Under Alexei Borisovich Kurakin, Preobrazhenskoe transformed into a model estate, rivaling famous estates in the Moscow region. The architectural appearance of Preobrazhenskoe, according to researcher V.M. Nedelin, was an example of classical style and was preserved until the early 20th century. Of all the Kurakin estates, Preobrazhenskoe was one of the most splendid, second only to Nadezhdino in the Saratov province.

The main approach to the estate was adorned with a linden alley, and the grand entrance stood out for its magnificence: the gates framed the guard buildings with obelisks. The Preobrazhensky rotunda church, built in 1789-1791, was the compositional center of the estate.

The Garden Street divided the estate into two parts: the lordly and the economic. Not far from the Preobrazhensky Church was the Kazan Church, used in winter. Opposite it stood a storage building, similar in architecture. The wooden estate house was dismantled in the mid-19th century, and in its place, four brick houses were built.

On the right side of the street were the economic buildings, including servant quarters, workshops, stables, and other structures. The landscape park of the estate stretched along the Red Pond.

In the late 18th century, a wooden house and a round church of the Transfiguration were built. In 1826, a funeral cortege with the body of Emperor Alexander I stopped at the church. In memory of this event, Prince Alexei Borisovich Kurakin erected a marble monument with a bust of the emperor in the church.

After the death of the prince and his wife Natalia Ivanovna in 1829 and 1831, they were buried in a crypt under the Preobrazhensky Church. During the Great Patriotic War, the church was used as an ammunition depot, which was blown up, damaging the crypt. Local residents reburied the remains of the princes, but the secret of what happened was taken away with them.

Only ruins remain of the estate.
