Ostankino Palace is a former summer residence and private opera theatre of the Sheremetev family, originally situated several kilometres to the north of central Moscow. It is a part of the North-Eastern Administrative Okrug of the city. Extant historical grounds include the main wooden palace, built in 1792–1798 around a theatre hall, with adjacent Egyptian and Italian pavilions, a 17th-century Trinity church, and fragments of the old Ostankino park with a replica of Milovzor folly.
