Creaking Pagoda, Folly in Pushkin, Russia
The Creaking Pagoda stands between two ponds, marking the boundary between Catherine Park and the New Garden of Alexander Park in Tsarskoe Selo.
Architect Georg von Veldten designed and constructed this Chinese-inspired summer house between 1778 and 1786 during Catherine the Great's reign.
The structure displays Chinese influences through its decorated walls, dragon figures at roof corners, and welcome characters on the main entrance.
Visitors can reach the pagoda through Parkovaya Street 52 in Tsarskoe Selo and contact local tourist services at +7 812 964 7453.
A metal weathervane at the top of the pagoda produces a distinctive sound when moved by wind, giving the structure its characteristic name.
