Znamenka, Imperial estate in Petergof, Russia

The Znamenka estate features a three-story palace with Greek halls, Raphael galleries, and a church dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul.

In 1835, Emperor Nicholas I acquired the estate from Senator Myatlev's heirs as a gift for his wife, Alexandra Feodorovna.

The palace interiors represent Russian Baroque style, resulting from an 1857 reconstruction project led by architect Harold Anderson Bosse.

Located between Alexandria Park and Mikhailovka Estate along the Petergof Road, Znamenka covers 74 hectares extending to the Gulf of Finland.

During World War II, German forces occupied the estate, leading to substantial damage that required extensive restoration work in the 1970s.
