Lunins' House


The Lunins' House is a former noble estate in Moscow Empire style, built by Italian architect Domenico Gilardi for the Lunins, an aristocratic family of pre-revolutionary Russia. The three-storied central mansion is vastly decorated with the avant-corps, reliefs, and is connected to two-storied wings, creating two closed courtyards. In 1821 the estate was sold to the State Empire Commercial Bank, that occupied the mansion till 1917. Since 1970 it belongs to the Museum of Oriental Art.
