Peterhof lapidary factory, Stone crafting factory in Petergof, Russia

The Peterhof Lapidary Factory stands near the Gulf of Finland, featuring architectural elements designed by architect Yury Felten during the imperial period.

Founded in 1721 under Peter the Great's reign, the factory supplied cut stones and decorative items for Russian palaces until its transformation in 1933.

The factory contributed to Russian craftsmanship through generations of skilled lapidarists who created architectural ornaments and stone decorations for royal estates.

Located on Fabrichnaya Street in Petergof, the factory operates as both a manufacturing facility and a destination for visitors interested in stone crafting.

The industrial complex maintains its original purpose of stone working while holding federal cultural heritage status, connecting past manufacturing with modern preservation.
