In the 18th century, on Vorontsovo Pole near St. Nicholas Church in Vorobyov, there was the estate of Chancellor Bezborodko. It descended to the Yauza River through a beautiful park designed by architect N. Lvov.

In 1816, the unfinished estate passed to college assessor A. von Tessin, a Swedish nobleman who had assimilated into Russian culture. His daughter married N. Ostrovsky, who acquired his father-in-law's estate in 1840. The great playwright A. Ostrovsky spent his youth here.

In 1849, he left his parental home and settled in a small house on the estate's border, opposite Serebryanichesky Lane.

The Tessina, Ostrovsky, and Mark estate differs in its layout from classical estates. At the corner stands a tall three-story wing. Further into the property are another wing and service buildings. One of these buildings houses a laboratory of the Brain Research Institute.

The main house of the Ostrovsky estate faces the large Nikolovorobinsky Lane. It is located behind gates and is only visible from the courtyard. The two-story house, which remembers Ostrovsky, is in a deplorable state. During Soviet times, it housed a laboratory for neural brain structure.

The estate extended to the Yauza, with the park and service buildings preserved above.

In the mid-19th century, it was acquired by representatives of the Mark-Vogau family for Sofia Vogau and her husband Moritz Mark. In 1884, architect V. Kossov built a mansion in the Art Nouveau style.

The beautiful white castle on the hill is located deep behind the former main house. Above the porch, the intertwined letters M and S can be seen. Stanislavsky and Kachalov visited this house. Several rooms of the Marks have been preserved: an oak dining room, a ballroom, and a staircase.

From 1930 to 1952, the Mark mansion housed a clinical nutrition clinic, where the founder of this field, Professor M. Pevzner, worked.

The estate can be accessed from the large Nikolovorobinsky Lane through the large gates built during the Mark era. The gatehouse was also designed by architect Kossov.

Along the lane and inside the estate stand service buildings preserved from previous owners. They are currently deteriorating, but remnants of old bricks can still be found among their ruins, which, it is said, were specially ordered from Germany, the homeland of the Mark and Vogau dynasty. The letters 'TN' on the bricks denote the manufacturer's mark.

The former park of the Tessina-Ostrovsky-Mark estate is now divided among four owners: two research institutes, the Indian embassy, and a children's educational institution.

The park and the main house of the Marks can be visited on cultural heritage days.
