Repin Estate Zdravnevo
Здравнёво
A wooden estate where the painter Ilya Repin lived and painted in summers from 1892 to 1902. Set on the banks of the Western Dvina, it is a peaceful rural spot.
Zdravnevo Estate lies on the Western Dvina River, about 15 km northeast of Vitebsk. The Russian realist painter Ilya Repin bought it in 1892 and spent most summers there for the next decade. He painted works here, including “Moonlit Night”. The original estate was destroyed in World War II. It was rebuilt from old photographs in 1988 as a museum. It displays materials on Repin’s life, reproductions of his paintings and furniture from his time. The grounds include gardens, ponds and riverside paths. Getting there requires a taxi or a suburban bus, and it suits a half-day trip.
