Not much info on Bezzabotnoye, alas. I haven't seen/found any pictures of the Palace/ mansion in the estate, so I can only share info I was able to find out.
Originally Bezzabotnoye was a village
Novie Gorbounki, not far from Strelna (to the south from it).Now it’s
Gorbounki. In 1825 Olga Zherebtsova, sister of famous Platon Zoubov (last lover of Empress Catherine II) bought Novie Gorbounki and named her new estate Bezzabotnoye (aka San Souci as in Potsdam, Germany). The area of the estate was not large, just 29 Ha, but a beauty spot situated on the river Strelka. In 1869 the estate was sold to a merchant, and after some years it again changed an owner. The lawful heirs of that last owner presented the estate to GD Nikolai Nikolayevitch before 1910 year. In 1914 in Bezzabotnoye GD and his spouse acted as the hosts to famous French general Joffre.
The original buldings in the park of Bezzabotnoye are lost now, only the park itself is preserved.
