The manor is an object of cultural heritage of regional significance, federal property and a magnificent monument of civil architecture. The family of the industrialist Rukavishnikov owned the building and turned an ordinary merchant's house into a breathtaking city palace. The facade was richly decorated with bas-reliefs and figures, elegant ceiling and wall paintings appeared in halls. The manor was the most luxurious building in Nizhny Novgorod at the end of the 19th century. Today, tourists can visit the mansion to discover the history of a rich merchant's house, its interiors (ballroom, living rooms, dining room, master's bedroom, the former kitchen) and learn the history of Rukavishnikov’s family. In addition, visitors can enjoy an exhibition of arts, crafts and jewelry collections from the Nizhny Novgorod Museum Reserve.
