Bernovo

Bernovo stands on the Tma River in the countryside of the upper Volga. The estate belonged to the Kalitin family from the early seventeenth century, and in 1726 Catherine I granted it to Pyotr Vulf as a hereditary possession. Its manor and garden became the setting for the life of the Vulf family. Alexander Pushkin, visiting nearby Malinniki at the invitation of Praskovya Osipova, also came to Bernovo in 1828, 1829 and 1833, joining the circle of friends and neighbours in the Tver countryside.
