Podviazie, Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia.

There are many ancient and mystery places in Russia, and they are maybe older and greater than the one I want to tell you about... But this one is my favourite - the homestead of the Count Preklonskiy’s family. Later it was owned by one of the richest traders, Count Rukavishnikov. Podviazie was very rich and beautiful 200 years ago. There were many buildings- a church, kennels, stables, forges, greenhouses. There were also a family crypt and underground tunnels.
Now it is lonely ruins surrounded by beautiful Russian nature. The ruins are covered by myths and secrets.... and people talk about ghosts and curses...
