Orlovsky park, Federal cultural heritage park in Strelna, Russia.
Orlovsky Park is a landscape park on a 15-hectare estate with three ponds, multiple paths, meadows with scattered trees, and groups of oaks, larches, and lindens. The water features and tree clusters form the basic structure and create distinct areas to walk through.
The park was built between 1833 and 1839 on land that Emperor Nicholas I granted to Prince Alexei Orlov in 1834. This expansion allowed the estate to develop into the current layout.
The park displays neogothic architectural elements including a gatekeeper's house, ruins tower, and gothic well that shape how visitors experience the space. These features guide people through different corners and create focal points for exploration.
The park is located next to Saint Petersburg Highway and is accessible by public transport, with parking available for visitors arriving by car. This location makes it easy to reach using different ways of getting there.
A tufa stone bridge crosses the Orlovsky pond to reach the Island of Love, while underground passages connect the ruins tower to hidden grottos below. These concealed structures add surprising depth beneath the park's surface.
