The Tolstoy House used to be a part of the architectural ensemble that was designed and partly built by Tolstoy’s grandfather Prince Nikolai Volkonsky and finished by the writer’s father Count Nikolai Tolstoy. Leo Tolstoy moved into this house in 1856, after he left the army, as the large manor house had already been sold and removed from Yasnaya Polyana by that time. In 1862 Tolstoy brought his young wife Sophia to this house. And it was here that most of his children were born (11 of the 13 children born into the family).
