Derzhavin Palace, Biographical museum on Fontanka River Embankment, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The palace features three connected buildings with classical architecture, stone galleries, colonnades, and a landscaped garden with water elements at the back.
Russian poet Gavrila Derzhavin acquired the mansion in 1791, commissioning architect Nikolay Lvov to expand the structure with additional wings along Fontanka River.
The mansion became a central gathering place for literary figures including Denis Fonvizin, Nikolay Karamzin, and Ivan Krylov during the late 18th century.
The museum displays manuscripts, rare books, period furniture, ornaments, and paintings across sixteen rooms, including a reconstructed study and house theater.
The two-story hall hosted meetings of the Lovers of the Russian Word literary society from 1811, marking the space as a nucleus of Russian cultural development.
