The dirt track leading up to the entrance adds a sense of nostalgia and charm to the scene, transporting viewers back in time to when this mansion was a symbol of power and prestige.
The juxtaposition of religion and royalty is palpable in this image, with the transition from grand duke residence to archbishop's house representing a shift in power dynamics within Russian society.
