Estate of the Chernyshovs family took a shape as a palace and park ensemble in the first half of the 1760s under field-marshal Zakhar Grigoryevich Chernyshov, who took part in the Seven years war.
In his nobleman residence the two-storey palace was built in the early classicism style with the motives of the French rococo and the household buildings. The interior of the house was in accordance with his lush architecture. The main hall deserved a special attention, because it had the «gallery of the ancestors» — bas-relief portraits on the walls.
On the banks of the Lama river there was a magnificent park with greenhouses, the «temple» in honor to Catherine II with the theatre and the mosque with two minarets, which was built in honor of the victorious peace with Turkey in 1774. The whole complex of the estate was enclosed with a stone fence.
Kazanskaya church is an original composition of the building with two domes designed in the style of classicism which was constructed on the site of the previous church. Tradition connects the building with the name of the architect M. F. Kazakov. The Church of the Kazan icon of the Mother of God has a peculiar and rare volumetric composition of the two symmetrical parts connected by cross-cutting cross passage used as entrance room for each part in the same time. To the ends of the rectangular in plan building two similar in shape apses are annexed, but only in the North-East apse is a church altar, the South-Western one serves as a tomb, in which crypt the ashes of field-marshal Z. G. Chernyshov, who died in 1784, were subsequently moved.
The church was rebuilt on request of the widow of field-marshal
A. R. Chernyshova in 1798. This explains the later, in comparison with the palace, character of its architecture.
In finishing of the church's facades the ionic order was applied. The iconostasis of the Church in the Eastern part of the building is decorated with stucco details and gilded columns on a dark blue background of the walls. In the floor of the South-Western part of the church there is a removable plate, under this part the descend into the crypt starts where the coffin with ashes of field-marshal Z. G. Chernyshov was placed.
Усадьба Чернышёвых (Ярополец) сложилась как дворцово-парковый ансамбль в первой половине 1760-х при Захаре Григорьевиче Чернышёве, участнике Семилетней войны, фельдмаршале.
В его резиденции вельможи был выстроен в стиле раннего классицизма, с мотивами французского рококо двухэтажный дворец, хозяйственные корпуса. Внутреннее убранство дома соответствовало его пышной архитектуре. Особого внимания заслуживал парадный зал с «галереей предков» — портретными барельефами на стенах.
На берегу Ламы был разбит великолепный парк, с оранжереями, «храмом» в честь Екатерины II, с театром, и мечетью с двумя минаретами, сооружённой по поводу победоносного мира с Турцией в 1774 г. Весь комплекс усадьбы был обнесён каменной оградой.
Казанская церковь — оригинальное по своей композиции двухкупольное сооружение в стиле классицизма была построена на месте предшествующей. Предание связывает постройку с именем архитектора М. Ф. Казакова. Церковь Казанской Божией Матери имеет своеобразную и редкую объемную композицию из двух симметричных частей, соединенных сквозным поперечным проходом, служащим одновременно вестибюлем для каждой из частей. К торцам прямоугольного в плане здания пристроены две одинаковые по форме апсиды, но только северо-восточная из них является церковным алтарем, а юго-западная служит усыпальницей, в склеп которой был впоследствии перенесен прах фельдмаршала З. Г. Чернышёва в 1784 г.
Церковь была перестроена по заказу вдовы фельдмаршала А. Р. Чернышёвой в 1798 г. Этим объясняется более поздний, в сравнении с дворцом, характер её архитектуры.
В обработке фасадов церкви применен ионический ордер. Иконостас церкви в восточной части здания украшен лепными деталями и позолоченными колоннами на темно-синем фоне стен. В полу юго-западной части церкви имеется съемная плита, под которой начинается спуск в склеп, куда был помещен гроб с прахом фельдмаршала З. Г. Чернышёва.
