Lev Tolstoy Estate-Museum in Khamovniki
Located on Ulitsa Lva Tolstogo (Lev Tolstoy Street) is a department of the Lev Tolstoy State Museum which is located in the early 19th-century estate which Tolstoy bought in 1882. After buying the house Tolstoy spent each winter here until 1901 (the summers he spent at his estate at Yasnaya Polyana) and he wrote over 100 stories at the estate. In 1920 the estate was made into a museum. Inside the estate's interior has been restored as to how it would have looked when Tolstoy lived there.
