In 1776-85 architect Vasili Bazhenov built a new palace for the Empress here but in 1786 Catherine ordered it to be partly pulled down. Until 1797, architect Matvey Kazakov was working on the construction but the palace remained unfinished. Currently, in Tsaritsino there are a history and architecture museum with a landscape park with an adjacent forest, an art museum, the Biryulyovo dendropark and a cascade of the Tsaritsino ponds.
