The modern Neskuchny Garden combines three historical plots that came into the possession of Emperor Nicholas I in 1826 and 1832.

Interestingly, the plot that became the basis for the modern palace complex in Neskuchnoye (northern Neskuchnoye) around the residence of Nicholas I's wife, Alexandra Feodorovna (now the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences), was the last acquisition that completed the formation of the territory.

The plots of Neskuchnoye stretch between the Moscow River and the Kaluga Highway (Leninsky Prospekt) and are oriented to the south, west, and northeast. They are usually referred to as southern, middle, and northern Neskuchnoye.

In the early 18th century, southern Neskuchnoye was owned by the Zayikonospassky Monastery, which sold the plot in the mid-18th century to a prominent nobleman of the era of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, the Prosecutor General of the Senate, Prince N.Y. Trubetskoy. Under the guidance of the chief architect of Moscow at that time, D.V. Ukhtomsky, one of the most magnificent baroque estates in Moscow was created here. The descendants of N.Y. Trubetskoy owned this part of the estate until the Patriotic War of 1812, although they could no longer maintain it with the same splendor and actively rented it out from the end of the 18th century.

This is linked to an outstanding page in the history of Neskuchnoye that requires clarification.

According to the history of Russian horse breeding, in the late 1780s, the outstanding figure in Russian history and culture, Count A.G. Orlov-Chesmensky, recognized as the first breeder in world science and the author of the Orlov trotter and riding horse breeds, appeared in Neskuchnoye. He had a branch of his legendary horse breeding farm in Neskuchnoye. It is known that northern Neskuchnoye belonged to his brother, Count F.G. Orlov, since 1793, but the brothers occupied different plots, and A.G. Orlov-Chesmensky appeared in Neskuchnoye before F.G. Orlov. According to indirect data, A.G. Orlov-Chesmensky was one of the tenants of Neskuchnoye from the Trubetskoys.

In the early 1820s, the owner of the Trubetskoy estate became Prince Shakhovskoy, who sold the estate to Emperor Nicholas I in 1826.

Middle Neskuchnoye belonged to the Streshnevs in the 17th century and passed through family ties to one of the branches of the Golitsyns. In the late 18th century, the owner of the plot became Princess N.D. Golitsyna, known as the 'Queen of Spades,' who bequeathed not to sell the estate for five years after her death. In 1826, her son, the Moscow governor D.V. Golitsyn, gifted the estate to his mother, Emperor Nicholas I, when purchasing the neighboring plot from the Trubetskoys.

The northern plot of Neskuchnoye, which includes the palace of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, was divided in the early 18th century between the Soymonovs and the Repnins. Their plots were united by Ural industrialist and philanthropist P.A. Demidov, creating a splendid estate. After him, the plot was briefly owned by Princess E.N. Vyazemskaya, who sold it in 1793 to Count F.G. Orlov. According to F.G. Orlov's will, the plot passed to his niece A.A. Orlova-Chesmensky. Demidov's palace was looted in 1812 but restored under the guidance of O.I. Bove. In 1826, A.A. Orlova-Chesmensky held a ball in honor of Nicholas I's coronation, after which the emperor expressed a desire to acquire the estate. The deal was finalized in 1832.

In 1832 and 1834, under the guidance of architect E. Tyurin, the plot was adapted for the estate of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.

Service buildings, such as the Guardhouse and the Kitchen Building, were reconstructed based on earlier structures that became part of the imperial estate.

The small one-story Kitchen Building is actually part of the Alexandrine Palace. The palace, forming a classical composition, is flanked by two wings, and the Kitchen Building is part of the northern wing.

The Guardhouse was cut off from the main ensemble of the palace due to Soviet construction along Leninsky Prospekt.

The Kitchen Building is undergoing maintenance repairs.
