Palace of the Yusupovs in Moscow
Greg_King:
When I visited the Moscow House (this back in 1992) there was apparently a lot of discussion as to its future-as whatever particular organization that occupied it at the time was in the process of moving out; on my other trips to Russia I never made it back to look at the house, but luckily in 1992 a few dollars got me in for a private tour that I recorded on video. I have to say that the place is amazing-very atmospheric-I remember shuttered windows and darkened rooms, walls painted with medieval designs, 17th Century leather furniture crowded into corridors-and some of the most intricate porcelain stoves I've ever seen in Russia. I'd love to go back one day when I have time and really prowl through the place!

Sounds like a great place to explore...but most of the historic palaces and homes would be amazing to be able to spend time in just snooping! Did you see the tunnel that supposedly had the skeletons in it? :o

I wondered if anyone has a list of all the Youssoupov Palaces in St Petersburg. I know of the ones on Moika and Liteyny Prospect, but I recently saw a map that showed the House of Actors on Nevsky Prospect (86, I believe) as a Youssoupov Palace. Does anyone have a list of them all. Even better, does anyone have pictures of them?

At the time of the revolution the Yusupovs had seven residences in Petersburg.
The most famous, the palace on Moika 94 was by far the largest in size, but it wasn´t the most expensive though.
The most expensive was the House in Nevsky 84-86 (I think because of its location), even when it was half the size of the Moika palace.
They had as well mansions on Liteiny 42, Baseinaya 5/5, Semenovsky 84-86, Pochtamskaya 92, and Litovsky 1/36.
