Ilyinsckoe village is situated in one of the most beautiful places along Moscow River. On the bank of the river you may find the magnificent garden, delight the fresh air of different  linden, birch and pine groves.

There are two churches in Illyinsckoe village: the prophet Ilya church and Vasiliy Kissaryisckiy church.

In the 16^th century and at the beginning of the 17^th century this village was a center of the large royal patrimony called «Luzhsckye zemly». The village was called so after the prophet Ilya church that was built at the very beginning of the 17^th century. This royal patrimony was granted to Tsarina Evdokya brother     V.I. Streshnev. She was the wife of the first representative of Romanow dynasty Mikhail Fedorowitch. Streshnev family possessed the village for almost two centuries. First it was inherited by count Ivan Ostermann and after his death passed into the hands of his grandson Alexander Ostermann one of the participants of Ishmael storm.  He lost his hand and retired from the army in 1818, after that he began to improve his patrimony. He rebuilt the large manorial house, on the stone foundation with the balcony viewed on the Moscow River. Ostermann founded almost all little houses in different parts of the park and they had bared their old romantic names till nowadays.

Large green-houses along the river has been also preserved.

While Ostermann was absent countess Elisabeth decided to create a park and all the trees for it was brought from far away.   

After count’s death his relative Galizin inherited the manor. 20 years later the widow had sold the manor to the royal family for 108 thousands rubles. It was a present for the empress Maria Fedorowna. The emperor Nikolai had created the special commission to reconstruct the manor. Ilyinsckoe differed greatly from the luxuriant emperor residences near St. Petersburg. Thanks to the beauty and variety of sights, which melted harmoniously into the landscape, - the manor turned into one of the most interesting examples of park and garden art of the 19^th century even in spite of the quite simple architectural ensemble. The whole territory was divided into three parts: regular park, landscape park and park situated on the bank of the river. Green parterre with round lawns and flowerbeds was laid down in front of the palace. The regular park in French manner with linden alley and cut bushes was laid down behind the parterre. Romantic Landscape Park was situated to the west of the palace. Future emperor Alexander III was fond of stone outhouse “Ne tschuy gore”(Don’t feel woe), which was standing among the pines. Maria Alexandrovna liked Ilyinsckoe very much. After she had viewed the manor she said: “Restore but do not change anything”.
