English Embankment 68, Palace of Grand Duke Pavel Alexandrovich

The palace features granite walls, brick details, wrought iron elements, and decorative bas reliefs across its Renaissance Revival architectural exterior.

Baron Alexander Stieglitz, a prominent Russian financier, commissioned architect Alexander Krakau to construct this residence between 1859 and 1862.

The building contains preserved interiors designed by Meltzer and Rachau, including marble staircases, wooden paneling, and original fireplaces from the imperial era.

The palace sits near Admiralteyskaya Metro Station at 68 Angliyskaya Naberezhnaya, providing direct access to attractions along the Neva River.

The construction required 3.5 million rubles, incorporating walls from earlier structures including the first stone house built on English Embankment in 1716.
