What is the name of the Bolkonsky country estate in War and Peace?

The Bolkonsky country estate in War and Peace is called Bald Hills.

Bald Hills is the rural estate of the old Prince Nikolai Andreyevich Bolkonsky, where he lives with his daughter Maria. Prince Andrei’s wife, Lise, also stays there while Andrei is away serving in the army. The estate gives Tolstoy a setting sharply different from the salons of Saint Petersburg and the social life of Moscow.

Life at Bald Hills is controlled by the old prince’s strict routines, intellectual interests, and difficult temperament. Maria’s devotion and spiritual seriousness contrast with her father’s severity, while Andrei’s visits reveal the family’s complicated loyalties and emotional tensions.

The estate remains important after the 1812 invasion of Russia. French troops threaten the area, Prince Nikolai dies, and Maria faces danger before receiving help from Nikolai Rostov. Later, Bald Hills is inherited by Maria and becomes associated with her marriage to Nikolai Rostov and the next generation.

Pokrovskoye, Yasnaya Polyana, and Otradnoe are plausible-sounding Russian place names, but they are not the Bolkonsky estate in the novel.
