Catherine Park, Royal park in Pushkin, Russia.
Description
Catherine Park is a large garden in Pushkin with a formal Dutch-style section and a more natural English-style area. Ornamental ponds, bridges, and walking paths run throughout the grounds.
History
The park began in 1717 under Peter the Great, but was heavily redesigned during Empress Elizabeth's reign. These changes created the two distinct garden styles seen today.
Culture
The park displays monuments and pavilions from the 18th century, including the Marble Bridge, which shape how visitors experience and move through the space today. These structures reflect the taste and values of the royal court that created them.
Practical
The park has multiple entrances leading to different sections, and a single ticket covers access to all areas. Walking along the paths and around the ponds is the best way to explore.
Did you know?
The park clearly divides into two zones: the western section follows a geometric Dutch design with straight lines, while the eastern area contrasts with winding paths and natural-looking landscapes. This shift between order and nature is distinctly noticeable while walking through.
