Grand Menshikov Palace in Oranienbaum
Grand Menshikov Palace in Oranienbaum , Petrine Baroque palace in Lomonosov, Russia
The Grand Menshikov Palace stands on a terrace above the Gulf of Finland, featuring symmetrical wings and a central three-story building with ornate decorations.
Prince Alexander Menshikov, a close associate of Peter the Great, commissioned the construction of this palace between 1710 and 1725 as his residence.
The palace architecture combines European designs with Russian elements, marking a period of strong Western influence in Russian noble construction.
The palace museum opens daily except Mondays from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available in Russian and English languages.
This palace remains the only structure from Peter the Great's era that maintained its original appearance without damage during World War II.
