The estate was built  by Alexey Olenin, the president of the Academy of Arts at the beginning of the 19th century. Alexander Pushkin and Mikhail Glinka, Pyotr Vyazemsky and Vassily Zhukovsky were frequent guests here.

Alexey Nikolaevich Olenin enjoyed the reputation of a well-rounded person. He served as the president of the Arts Academy, the first director of the Public Library, and a member of the State Council. He was not only an art connoisseur, but cared about and supported writers, poets, artists and musicians.

In different years Vassily Zhukovsky, Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Glinka, Karl Bryullov, and the Decembrists Volkonsky, Trubetskoy, and Muravyev-Apostol gathered here. Alexander Pushkin inspired by the beauty of Olenin's daughter Anna wrote one of the famous masteprieces of his love poetry.
