If you find yourself in the village of Vyunki in the Bryansk region and see a medieval castle, do not doubt, you are still in the village of Vyunki. This palace belonged to local industrialist Georgy Konstantinovich Sapozhkov in the early 20th century, the owner of a large textile factory whose products repeatedly won awards at all-Russian and international exhibitions. Therefore, Sapozhkov spared no expense in building his country residence.

Construction began in 1910. According to some sources, Italian specialists were involved in the design of the estate. The central building was executed in the neo-Gothic style, resembling a knight's castle. The entrance, located between a tall tower and the eastern risalit, is adorned with a loggia featuring three pointed arches and a balcony. The stable, pigeon house, engine room, and other utility buildings were constructed in the same style. A special decoration was the park with a pond, which was dug by hired peasants, using the soil to raise the level of the park. Georgy Konstantinovich ordered expensive tree species for the park: pines, oaks, and firs. In this secluded place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the factory owner loved to relax in the summer.

Everything changed in 1919 when the building was nationalized and turned into a children's home, and later a tuberculosis sanatorium was established there. During World War II, tragic events occurred here: in a hospital for Red Army soldiers, captured by the fascists, all the wounded and medical staff were shot. Later, the estate was occupied by the Gestapo, which set up torture chambers in the basements. Fortunately, the palace was not destroyed during the war. In the 1960s, it was restored, trying to return it to its original appearance. Since then, the former residence of Sapozhkov has been functioning as a sanatorium.
