Alexis Palace, Imperial palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The palace features two entrance halls, multiple ceremonial rooms, and the English Hall with ornate 16th-century style stucco ceilings and decorative elements.

Architect Maximilian Messmacher constructed this residence between 1882 and 1885 for Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich, who served as head of the Russian Imperial Navy.

The English Hall now functions as a concert venue within the Saint Petersburg Music House, presenting classical music performances throughout the year.

The building stands on the Moika River Embankment, incorporating earlier structures from the property while maintaining French chateau architectural elements.

The palace dining room contains ten genre paintings by Ernst Lipgart, created specifically for this space in the style of 17th-century Dutch masters.
