Парк Ольденбургского, Historic estate park in Petergof, Russia.
Oldenburg Park is a historic estate in Peterhof covering roughly 39 hectares along the coast. The grounds contain preserved pine forests, walking paths, water treatment facilities, and residential complexes from recent decades.
Emperor Nicholas I granted this land to Prince Peter of Oldenburg in 1830, who developed it with English gardens and Gothic buildings. After the 1917 revolution, the estate became a natural history station where students created herbarium collections of local flora.
The site was once a noble residence featuring Gothic structures designed by architect Vasily Stasov. It reflects the 19th-century preference for English-style gardens and romantic architecture.
The park sits along the coast and offers open areas for walking among trees. Visitors should expect natural pathways and varying accessibility depending on time of day or current site activities.
The grounds once housed a wooden cottage farm and several structures, of which only traces remain visible today. Its period as a natural history station influenced some original features, yet the basic layout from its founding era remains traceable.
