Pavlovsk Museum-Preserve, Imperial palace and museum in Pavlovsk, Russia
Pavlovsk Palace is an imperial residence with a cubic central structure topped by a low dome supported by columns and classical pavilions distributed throughout the layout. The estate also includes a large park with pathways, water features, and wooded areas spread across the grounds.
Catherine II granted her son Paul a large forest area along the Slavyanka River in 1777 to celebrate Alexander I's birth. The palace construction followed this gift and became a favored imperial residence for the family throughout the following century.
The palace served as a residence for the Russian imperial family and displays furnishings, paintings, and objects that belonged to Paul I and his court. Visitors can observe how the rooms were arranged and what artworks surrounded the royal household.
The museum offers guided tours through the palace and park with seasonal variations in opening hours. Visitors should know that different ticket options are available for various areas and the estate covers considerable ground.
The Gonzago Gallery holds rare outdoor frescoes by Pietro di Gotthardo Gonzaga, an unusual example of this art form in Northern Europe. These frescoes were specifically created to decorate grottos and garden loggias on the estate.
