Kikin Hall, Petrine Baroque palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia
This two-story stone palace features central and lateral sections with curved pediments, pilasters, and traditional Russian architectural decorative elements on its facade.
Built in 1714 for Alexander Kikin, an advisor to Peter the Great, the palace was confiscated in 1718 when Kikin was executed for helping Prince Alexei escape.
The palace housed Russia's first public museum, the Kunstkamera, from 1719 to 1727, storing scientific collections and Peter the Great's library.
Located on Stavropolskaya Street 9, the palace now functions as a music school and maintains regular opening hours for educational activities.
The building's layout and external configuration match the central part of the Grand Peterhof Palace, suggesting a common architectural blueprint from that period.
