Mikhailovskoe is the most attractive place of the Pushkin reserve. It is the former family estate of the Gannibal-Pushkins. In 1742 under the decree of the empress Yelizaveta Petrovna the bay of Mikhailovskoye was granted to Abram Petrovich Gannibal (“the Arab of Peter the Great”). This is the way the ancestors of Pushkin entered this place for the first time. The estate with the house of masters and the houses for servants is situated on a hill, which is over the Sorot river. A park, which turns into a pine forest, adjoins the estate from the south side; from the hillside you can see a beautiful view of the Sorot river, and the large valley with the lake Kuchane, behind which you can see the Petrovsky Park. The old park of Gannibal didn’t remain but now it is reconstructed and we hope that it`ll be opened for all visitors in the nearest future.
