Chinese Palace of Russia
Chinese Palace of Russia, Rococo palace in Lomonosov, Russia
Located in the Upper Park complex, this one-story palace displays a combination of Russian architecture with Chinese-inspired design elements on its exterior.
Catherine II of Russia commissioned Italian architect Antonio Rinaldi to construct this summer residence between 1762 and 1768 as her personal retreat.
The Glass Beaded Study contains twelve authentic panels from the 1760s, featuring intricate decorative work that represents Russian handicraft techniques.
The palace opens to visitors from spring through autumn, offering guided tours in several languages through its ceremonial chambers and historical rooms.
The floors span 722 square meters and incorporate wood varieties including mahogany, boxwood, Persian walnut, maple, birch, and oak in geometric patterns.
