About the Residence
There is a place that is unique in its pristine beauty with the ancient name Knyazhoe at the distance of 38 km from the town of Ostashkov on Lake Seliger. Since the beginning of time the great Russian knyazes (princes) enjoyed resting here.
In the IX century the Koptev-Savin family’s estate was located on the shore of Lake Seliger in Knyazhoe village. The major industrials of the town of Ostashkov. Unfortunately, there is only a park remained of the magnificent manor now. Knyazhoe Recreation House was founded on the shore of Seliger in 2005 and was renamed to the Knyazhy Ostrov Residence in 2008. The residence is located in an underpopulated and hard-to-get area on Lake Seliger 400 km from Moscow near the Valdai wildlife sanctuary, not so far from the river head of Volga. This is one of the most ecologically clean areas in Russia. There are no roads to this place... You will be delivered to the residence by air-cushion vehicle or helicopter.
Knyazhy Ostrov Residence is one of the most beautiful and mysterious places in Russia. Once you come here, you will be looking forward to return again.
From the earliest times to this day people come to this fabulous place. Some people engage in fishing, skiing, riding the horses, going for a ride on the snow and swamp-going vehicle or on the air cushion boat. Other people wander through the deep, age-old forests of Seliger, pick up mushrooms and berries and then in the evening indulge their bodies and souls with a true Russian Banya (a kind of sauna). Some people take a trip to the town of Ostashkov, Nilova Pustyn Monastery, river head of Volga. Some people simply relax in the silence from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Gentle waters of Seliger and the cleanest air, warmed by the sun, filled with the aromas of pine forest and flowery meadow are waiting for you in summer as well as white snow, sparkling in the sun, and a pleasant cheek burning frost in winter.
Excellent conditions for recreation, diligence of the staff, delicious cuisine, unusual nature of the region – all this is Knyazhy Ostrov!
