Sometimes you do not need to go outside your own country to visit some special place where every dust and pebble are saturated with so much energy of the past that no modern resort could even dream about.

Museum-Reserve "Tarkhany" just from such places. He is in the village of Lermontovo (you will never guess, in honor of whom it is named). The estate "Tarkhany" once belonged to Elizaveta Alekseevna Arsentieva, the grandmother of the great Russian poet and prose writer Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov.

It was here that Mikhail spent his childhood and youth. Here he visited in 1828, 35 and 36.

Should I go to Tarkhany? If you are not indifferent to the work of Lermontov or just want to join the Russian noble culture, this journey is clearly for you.

The museum consists of a lordly manor, Apalikhi manor, owned by the poet's aunt, as well as the grave of Lermontov himself with the memorial complex.

The poet himself lived in the manor house .Here there is a memorial and everyday exposition of "Lermontov in Tarkhany" .Anyone can see the items that once belonged to Mikhail Yurievich and his relatives .It's amazing what kind of energy belong to personal belongings of such cult people: it would seem that an ordinary cigarette case or porcelain inkwell, and it is impossible to tear off the view, images are immediately drawn, as they once used .There is also a visual masterpiece of the poet's brush - "The Caucasian view near the village of Sioni" .The manor house is surrounded by beautiful orchards and a park in which you can safely walk, enjoying the peace, quiet and fresh air .

Next is to visit the memorial church of Mary of Egypt, erected in honor of the mother of Mikhail Yurievich, as well as the family chapel-tomb, which is under the memorial church of Archangel Michael.
