The "Sviblovo" estate, also known as Old Sviblovo, is a small and cozy estate in the north of Moscow. It was built near the village of the same name, which has existed here since the mid-15th century.

According to an ancient legend, the name of the village is associated with the voivode Svibla, who served under Dmitry Donskoy. However, in the works of Nikolai Karamzin and Alexander Pushkin, the estate is referred to as "Svirlovo."

For almost the entire 17th century, the village belonged to the Pleshcheev family. In the early 18th century, it became the property of a relative of Peter I, K.A. Naryshkin. After him, the estate changed hands several times, including owners such as the Golitsyns and Pleshcheevs. In the early 19th century, N.M. Karamzin lived here.

In 1704, Naryshkin built stone chambers, using the labor of Swedish soldiers captured in the Battle of Poltava. In 1709, the local Trinity Church was rebuilt in stone, and its bell was acquired as a trophy from the Swedes.

In 1782, the estate was purchased by Major General N.P. Vysotsky, a nephew of Catherine II's favorite Grigory Potemkin. It was under him that "Sviblovo" acquired the appearance we see today.

From 1722 to 1725, the estate was home to Peter I's daughter Anna Petrovna, and it served as her residence. Only the rotunda has survived from that time.

The rotunda, known as the "Temple of Air," is located on a small island surrounded by a moat with a diameter of 60 meters. Four bridges lead to it from different sides.

Nearby is the Sviblovo spring. Previously, its water was used in the estate and fountain, but now it simply flows. Drinking this water is not recommended.

Next to the estate are the Sviblovo ponds. Until recently, Sviblovo pond with the island was one of the most overgrown with algae in Moscow, and now there are many water lilies here.

A walk around the pond and the estate takes about an hour. This place is popular for picnics.

On the estate's territory are the main house and two identical wings on the sides, as well as the surviving "People's Wing," a utility building.
