Chyornoe Lake, Federal cultural heritage lake in Gatchina, Russia.
Chyornoe Lake spans across the central area of Gatchina, featuring multiple islands and natural formations that shape the local landscape.
The lake emerged as part of a landscaping project in 1798, connecting to the architectural ensemble of the nearby Priory Palace.
The Soviet Council of Ministers established protective measures for the lake in 1960, recognizing its role in Russian architectural heritage.
Visitors can reach the lake through designated pathways from the Priory Palace, leading to various observation points around the water.
The lake contains several artificial islands that were specifically designed to enhance the visual composition of the surrounding park system.
