The estate complex, owned by the Losyev, Shatilov, and Stahl von Holstein families, includes a church, a manor house, and a park. It was founded on the left bank of the Usmanka River in the first half of the 18th century. The first owner was Colonel Semyon Ivanovich Losyev.
Until the autumn of 1917, the estate remained in the hands of one family, changing seven generations of owners. Restoration work was carried out from 2010 to 2013, and now the estate is recognized as a cultural heritage site of regional significance.
Colonel Semyon Ivanovich Losyev of the Voronezh Dragoon Garrison Regiment founded the estate and relocated his peasants from the village of Repnoe to the village of Alexeyevskoye between 1724 and 1744 to isolate them from neighboring landowners.
His younger son, Alexey Semyonovich Losyev, built a two-story house and a stone church in honor of his heavenly patron, Alexius, a man of God, in the 1760s.
Alexey Semyonovich had three daughters: Darya, Yevdokiya, and Ekaterina. Ekaterina married prosecutor Dmitry Fyodorovich Khvoshchinsky, who belonged to a wealthy noble family that played an important role in the Tambov region.
Yevdokiya became the wife of Voronezh landowner Pyotr Venevitinov and moved to his estate Novozhivotinnoe. Their great-grandson, Dmitry Venevitinov, became a famous poet.
Darya Alexeyevna, the eldest daughter, married Moscow nobleman Alexander Ivanovich Shatilov for the third time and inherited the Alexeyevskoye estate after her father's death. The Shatilovs had two sons: Nikolai and Ivan.
In the first half of the 19th century, the estate was owned by the elder son of the Shatilovs, Nikolai Alexandrovich, who was married to Varvara Alyabyeva, the sister of composer Alexander Alyabyev. They remained owners until 1837.
In 1837, the estate passed to the elder daughter of the Shatilovs, Sofia Nikolayevna, who married Baron Alexander Karlovich Stahl von Holstein. They had four children, and by the end of the 19th century, the estate was owned by their younger son, Anatoly Alexandrovich.
The last owner was Alexander Anatolyevich, the only son of Anatoly. He managed the estate until his death in 1917 and is buried on the estate grounds, just like his ancestor Alexey Losyev.
