The book presents the biography of Prince Nikolai Alekseevich Golitsyn (1751-1809), which is a typical life path of the aristocrat of the Epoch of Enlightenment. It addresses such aspects of the Russian life of the XVIII century, as education, education, court life, manor construction. The last topic was paid special attention, since the hero of the research was the owner and the builder of two wonderful suburban estates - Arkhangelsk and Nikolskoye-Uryupino. Information from his biography helps shed light on a poorly studied, but very important period of the existence of these monuments. In one or another perspective in the book, many marked events of the era were reflected in the book: Palace coups, laid commission, Russian-Turkish wars and magnificent celebrations of victories, marriages of the Augustors, Moscow plague and so on. Abundant citation of epistolary and other sources is informing to the modern reader of the characteristics of the language and the flavor of the long time. The book will be interesting to both specialists and a wide range of readers who want to learn anything new about the history and culture of their country
