ABSTRACT
The article is dedicated to research of the placement of impressive and prestigious country estates - “estates of the higher nobility” - on the territory of the Shlisselburg uyezd before 1917. Such unique estates have received special functional, spatial and landscape characteristics that significantly distinguish them from “ordinary” noble estates. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that at the moment the solutions to adapt and preserve the estate heritage of Russia are actively sought. The purpose of the study is to identify a separate type of objects called “nearby estates of the higher nobility”. For the purposes of the research, the following methods were used: archival and bibliographic, cartographic, analytical, and field research. Results: preserved and previously existing estates of the higher nobility are analyzed on the example of the “Priyutino” estate of A. N. Olenin.
