Petergof, City municipality on the Baltic Sea coast near Saint Petersburg, Russia
Peterhof encompasses both a grand palace complex and extensive gardens, featuring 150 fountains connected through an elaborate gravity-operated water system.
Peter the Great established Peterhof in 1711 after visiting the French court, designing it as a response to the Palace of Versailles.
The Grand Palace exhibits Petrine Baroque architecture through its detailed facades, gilded statues, and ceremonial halls filled with period furniture.
The museum complex operates daily from April through October, with guided tours available in multiple languages for both palace and garden areas.
The Grand Cascade employs natural water pressure from springs located 22 kilometers away to power its 64 fountains without any pumping mechanisms.
