Kraskovo-Bogorodskoye, an old estate of the Trubetskoy knyazes, is located on the Pekhorka River.

It was heavily damaged after the October Revolution of 1917—the park was deforested and most of its area was used for construction. The main house with its auxiliary wings and a church, household courtyard, and a crude kerb-stone fence still remain.
