In the past, the European part of Russia was known as the land of noble estates. They varied: from large to small, from luxurious to modest, but all were characterized by coziness and care. The manor house in the village of Nerevo was also an architectural gem of the Kostroma region.

The estate was located on the slope of the left bank of the Driska River and was built with the funds of titular advisor Prince Vasily Fyodorovich Meshchersky. Small but stylish wooden houses in the classical style, a garden descending to ponds, a village district, a private chapel, and a parish church created an atmosphere conducive to reflection on family values.

The estate was surrounded by ponds, which, according to rumors, were home to fish, and local boys often spent time fishing. Despite the fact that this splendor belonged to the nobleman, he allowed local residents to fish. In the early 20th century, the estate passed to the noble family of Bestuzhev, who planted a birch grove on the estate's grounds. All residential houses and wings were connected by well-kept paths and alleys, and instead of fences, living hedges of small trees, known as bosquets, were planted.

During the Soviet era, the estate became state property, and the nobles were evicted. The park was cut down for firewood, and sports grounds appeared in place of the bosquets. For some time, the main building housed the main building of a cardiology sanatorium. Now the estate has fallen into disrepair: the floors have sagged, and the house is slowly crumbling. Only the unique architecture, characteristic of Russian places, reminds of its former grandeur.
