Volkonsky, bought land from the church clergy on the shore of the lake and built a hunting house and a park around it. When the construction was completed, he moved peasants from other estates and thus a new village appeared, named by the owner Novo-Troitsky, later renamed Ramenskoye.
In 1831, the landowner A. A. Golitsyna, the daughter of Field Marshal A. A. Prozorovsky, built a textile factory in Ramenskoye to cover her debts.

Bykovo Estate
From the magnificent once Russian estate today only a dilapidated palace, the majestic Vladimirskaya Church and an abandoned park with ponds have survived. Previously, the estate was called Maryino. It was built in the second half of the 18th century. It was founded by its first owner, Governor-General of Moscow M. M. Izmailov. The Neo-Gothic estate project was created by a talented architect - Vasily Bazhenov.
He was invited to build the palace, but the master managed to create an amazing architectural and park ensemble, which included a park, a temple, a winter garden, ponds, a grotto and the Hermitage. Now only the foundation has survived from the former palace, as well as the ramps at the main entrance, since in the middle of the 19th century the new owner of the estate, Illarion Vorontsov-Dashkov, invited an architect from Switzerland and rebuilt the palace.
The new building, built of red brick, turned out to be luxurious: a two-story spectacular building with a tower. And today, the exquisite decor in the English style has been preserved inside.
Vladimir Church
The temple is located in the former estate of Bykovo. This is a real palace, made in the style of luxurious English castles. The facade of the building is decorated with paired bell towers and a snow-white stone staircase with an unusually beautiful balustrade.

These aisles were also consecrated: in honor of the Archangel Michael and the Assumption of the Mother of God. Today the church has a Sunday school and a charity canteen.

But local residents believe the promises of the city authorities to restore order here in the near future.
