Feodorovsky gorodok

Feodorovsky Gorodok is a complex of seven buildings in Russian Revival style connected by covered passages within fortress walls near the Alexander Palace. The structures display facades and interiors that recreate traditional Russian architectural forms.

Tsar Nicholas II commissioned this miniature town between 1909 and 1917 to revive traditional Russian architectural forms. The project emerged as an expression of returning to national building culture during a period of significant political change.

The complex contains two distinct churches where the upper one honors the Feodorovsky Icon and the lower cave church features ornate decorative work from earlier centuries. Visitors can see how these spaces reflect Russian religious traditions and skilled craftsmanship.

The site is accessible with ongoing restoration preserving the historical facades and interiors under management by the Presidential Administration. Visitors should note that some areas may have limited access due to active restoration work.

During World War I the complex served as an infirmary where Empress Alexandra and her daughters cared for wounded soldiers. This place carries traces of a royal family directly engaged in wartime assistance.
