Дом Чеховых

The estate of Melikhovo in the Moscow Oblast is a must-visit destination for travelers looking to explore the life and works of Russia's undisputed king of literature - Anton Chekhov. The estate is where he lived, wrote, and ultimately passed away. The French-style two-storey house holds a museum dedicated to the Great playwright. The museum houses many of Chekhov’s belongings, including his furniture, a study, a library, and a theatre. Visitors can also find the graves of Chekhov and his family in the garden. Around the estate is an evergreen park, with manicured lawns and a pond, offering a great opportunity for a relaxed or romantic stroll. The beauty of the estate is further highlighted by picturesque churches and village houses set amidst a landscape of dense forest and open meadows. Make sure you don’t leave without exploring Melikhovo (Мелихово) village, the local museum and Chekhov’s Dacha, the summerhouse nearby where he often wrote and cultivated his love for nature.
