Renaissance facades, medieval crenelated walls, Byzantines arcades, classical Trianon, Gothic tour ... nothing was beautiful enough to Pavel Von der Wiese when, in 1893, he ordered to Chektel, main architect of that time, to build a palace worth welcoming the horses he wanted to accommodate. 250 km south of Moscow, stands this horse center where today and from now on, Vladimir Frolov attempts to recreate the Orlov-Rostopchine breed.
