The Galsky Estate is a picturesque noble estate built in the provincial classicism style on the bank of the Sheksna River in the early 19th century. This monument of history and culture of federal significance is located in the city of Cherepovets, Vologda Oblast. In 1989 this unique monument of history, culture and architecture of the early 19th century, became a part of the Cherepovets museum association.
It is the only estate on the territory of the Cherepovets region where all the system of outdoor and economic constructions is preserved in the city surroundings.
The museum is devoted to the everyday life of the Galsky family, the Russian landowners of the 19th century.
The garden and park were returned to their original form. As well as the landowner’s manor, the manager’s house and the gardener’s hut, the museum also includes other buildings – the servants’ courtyard house, peasants’ huts, two barns, a butter mill, workshops where blinkers and carriages were made and the stables.
The stables have returned to their original use, and the territory of the museum-manor includes a riding school for children and adults. The museum’s visitors can ride on horse-back or sledge in winter time and admire the picturesque landscapes.
