Quarters of the Pavlovsky Lifeguards Regiment
Quarters of the Pavlovsky Lifeguards Regiment, Military palace on Millionnaya Street, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The 150-meter long facade features three monumental columned porticoes with martial friezes, reflecting the classical architectural style of early 19th century Russia.
The quarters, constructed between 1817 and 1819 by architect Vasily Stasov, replaced Princess Elizaveta Petrovna's palace after she moved to the Winter Palace.
The building incorporated a chapel with ionic columns, demonstrating the integration of religious elements within military structures of Imperial Russia.
The quarters stand on the west side of the Field of Mars, accessible from Nevsky Prospekt metro station by crossing the Moyka River.
The regiment stationed here supported the Bolsheviks during the October Revolution and participated in the storming of the Winter Palace.
