The article is devoted to the investigation of the placement of the largest, representative and prestigious country estates-“estates of the highest nobility” - on the territory of the historical St. Petersburg province and adjacent provinces before 1917. It consistently formed a single spatial network around St. Petersburg - the capital of the Russian state, the special system, which consisted of at least 271 estates. All these representative estates received the special functional and spatial landscape characteristics that significantly distinguish them from the “ordinary” estates of the nobility.
