Bobrinsky Palace, Palace near Galernaya Street, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Bobrinsky Palace is a classical building with two stories and large windows positioned along the Admiralty Canal. Its elegant facade with a columned entrance frames the waterfront landscape.
Construction of the palace took place between 1792 and 1796 under architect Luigi Rusca's design. It became home to Count Alexei Bobrinsky, Catherine II's son.
The palace served as a meeting place for artists and thinkers during the 1800s, where important conversations took place. Visitors can still walk through the rooms where these gatherings occurred.
The building now houses a university faculty and welcomes visitors through arranged tours. It sits directly on the canal, making it simple to access on foot.
The original owner was a photography pioneer who created early daguerreotypes. These historic images are now held in a major museum's collection.
