Catherinehof, Historical park in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The 33-hectare park includes water features with the Ekateringofka River, Paper Canal, and Tarakanovka River forming natural boundaries around its territory.

Peter the Great established this estate in 1711 as a gift to his wife Catherine I, following a naval victory against Swedish ships in 1703.

The park contains numerous sculptures, architectural elements, and walking paths that represent Russian landscape design principles of the 18th century.

The park remains open 24 hours daily without entrance fees, offering visitors boat rentals, walking paths, and regular guided tours throughout the grounds.

Russian literary classics by Dostoevsky and Goncharov mention this park, which changed names multiple times before returning to its original designation in 1992.
