Marly Palace, Baroque palace in Petergof, Russia

The two-story stone palace stands between two rectangular ponds, featuring symmetrical architecture with a central corridor system and refined exterior proportions.

Peter the Great commissioned architect Johann Friedrich Braunstein to construct this palace between 1720 and 1723, naming it after the French royal residence Marly-le-Roi.

The palace contains the Oak Study, Chintz Cabinet, and numerous 18th-century paintings by artists Adam Silo, Abraham Storck, and Pietro Belotti.

The palace opens its doors to visitors as part of the Peterhof Museum Complex, displaying Peter the Great's personal belongings and period furniture collections.

Two artificial ponds adjacent to the palace served as fish breeding grounds since Peter the Great's time, supplying fresh fish to the imperial court.
