In the late 19th century, the Art Nouveau style rapidly gained popularity in the Russian Empire, attracting the attention of wealthy individuals who eagerly commissioned buildings in this style. Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich did not remain aloof from this trend and decided to build a new estate in Pushkin in 1896. He spared no expense in creating an architectural masterpiece, and the result met expectations. The project was developed by several well-known architects of the time, and construction was completed in 1899. A magnificent architectural ensemble emerged on the acquired land, consisting of the main and service buildings, surrounded by a beautiful garden. The palace, designed in the Art Nouveau style, became an important milestone in the development of this movement in Russia, and the Romanovs once again found themselves at the forefront.

Externally, the palace resembled a British cottage: a brick building with decorative plaster on the second floor and a tiled roof. Architectural elements harmoniously blended with the alleys and pond. The wooden porch of the mansion elegantly emphasized the owner's taste.

After the main mansion was built, stables and a guest house were erected, which was rarely used by the owner, who was captivated by British culture. However, Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich remained a patriot and served Russia in World War I, holding Cossack positions, including that of the Field Ataman. After the February Revolution, he lost all titles and moved to Kislovodsk, where General Shkuro saved him from death, allowing him to flee abroad. He was unable to return, but the summer palace miraculously survived to this day and continues to delight with its beauty, although much has been lost.
