The Nechaev Estate, located in the village of Polibino in the Dankovsky District of the Lipetsk Region, is situated 40 kilometers from Kulikovo Field and 45 kilometers from the city of Dankov. It occupies the right bank of the Don River, opposite the old Dankov settlement. Before the October Revolution, the estate belonged to the noble Nechaev family. The central feature is the manor house in Palladian style. The estate includes an English park with a cascade of ponds, a riding hall, stables, and other buildings. Some of these structures have partially survived among the remnants of the old park.

Before the revolution, the estate housed the first museum of the Battle of Kulikovo in Russia, established by Stepan Dmitrievich Nechaev, who was the Procurator of the Holy Synod, a senator, an actual privy councilor, a historian, archaeologist, poet, and writer. He erected a 30-meter memorial column in honor of the victory at the Battle of Kulikovo and began fundraising for the construction of the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh at Kulikovo Field.

Among the estate's owners, the most famous is Yuri Stepanovich Nechaev-Maltsov, the son of S. D. Nechaev, who was a great patron of the arts. He gifted Russia the Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow (now the Pushkin Museum), donating a significant sum for its construction. At the Polibino estate, Yuri Stepanovich hosted and collaborated with outstanding figures such as Leo Tolstoy, Ilya Repin, Ivan Aivazovsky, Konstantin Korovin, Vasily Polenov, Viktor Vasnetsov, Ivan Tsvetaev, Alexander Benois, Olga Knipper-Chekhova, and Anna Akhmatova.

A particular attraction of the estate is the tower designed by engineer Vladimir Shukhov. It is the first hyperboloid structure in the world and the first tower made in the form of a load-bearing mesh shell. The tower was built for the All-Russian Industrial and Art Exhibition in Nizhny Novgorod and was later purchased by Y. S. Nechaev-Maltsov. After the exhibition, the tower was transported to Polibino and installed next to the Nechaev palace.

In 1974, by a decree of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, the Polibino estate, including the manor house, Shukhov's tower, the park with ponds, and service buildings, was declared a monument of federal architectural significance and placed under state protection.
