Pogorelovo is an abandoned village in the Kostroma region. It used to be a rich state village. Ivan Polyashov was the richest person in the village. He even obtained an order from the royal family and repaired the Winter Palace.


In 1903 Ivan Polyashov constructed a house and became one of the largest landowners in the neighborhood.

The house had a very complex and unique construction. At the same time, it was fit for wise farm management.

The house was confiscated in 1918. Ivan’s children moved to Siberia.

The owner


Later a couple of Russian painters bought the house and restored it.



The village was abandoned in 1990.

What an amazing house. It’s too bad that places like this one sits abandoned and slowly decaying
incerable house ! i wont him !
Beautiful architecture, hope these guys are up to the restoration.
Man that’s a real shame it’s a beautiful house and I don’t say that often about Russian architecture
Its looks like the house in Nikita Mikhalkov’s film Burnt by The Sun
nice place for holidays, alone with nature.
House looks creepy with beautiful touch, très belle en fait !
‘Ivan’s children moved to Siberia.’ do you mean were moved? i doubt they had choice. sad this house needs very large amount of money to restore as it looks to be in poor condition.
Great work in the detais. The ornaments, the glass…exquisite work!
