Lefortovo Palace, Petrine Baroque palace in Basmanny District, Moscow, Russia.
The Lefortovo Palace displays architectural elements of Western European influence with its prominent facade, tiled roof, and symmetrical design along the Yauza River.
Constructed in 1699 for Franz Lefort, a military commander under Peter the Great, the palace later became a residence for Russian nobility and military institutions.
The palace, designated as a federal cultural heritage site, represents the transition period when Russian architecture incorporated European construction methods and styles.
Visitors can explore the palace grounds and adjacent Lefortovo Park through guided tours that examine the architectural features and historical significance.
The palace earned the nickname Moscow Versailles due to its French-influenced design and extensive gardens modeled after the renowned Palace of Versailles.
