Description

Nevsky Prospect 86 is a five-story neoclassical palace with nineteen bays across its facade. The structure features Doric columns and decorative armorial relief panels positioned at the fourth floor level.

History

The palace was originally built for Prince Troubetzkoy in the 18th century and underwent several reconstructions over time. A significant renovation was completed by architect Mikhail Ovsyannikov, who designed the prominent five-column centerpiece.

Culture

The building housed members of the Russian nobility and reflects the architectural preferences of Saint Petersburg's wealthy upper class during the 18th century. Its neoclassical design with ornate details shows the taste that aristocrats favored for their urban residences.
