==History== right|thumb|The park in the former Demidov Estate. Taytsy is known since the 1720s, when Peter the Great gave the surrounding lands to Ivan Golovin. The estate was eventually split, and the part which is currently located in the settlement of Taytsy was sold to Alexander Demidov, an owner of metal plants in the Urals. In the 1770s, the architect Ivan Starov, a brother-in-law of Demidov, created in the estate an architectural ensemble consisting of a park and a number of buildings.
