Hermitage pavilion in Tsarskoe Selo
Hermitage pavilion in Tsarskoe Selo, Baroque pavilion in Catherine Park, Pushkin, Russia
The Hermitage Pavilion features white columns against turquoise walls, adorned with sixty-four decorative columns, stucco garlands, masks, and detailed window frames.
Built between 1744 and 1754, architect Mikhail Zemtsov initiated the construction, while Bartolomeo Rastrelli later redesigned the facades under Empress Elizabeth's patronage.
The pavilion's central hall contains ceiling paintings by Giuseppe Valeriani depicting scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, including Bacchus and Ariadne narratives.
Located fifteen minutes walking distance from Catherine Palace, the pavilion stands on an artificial island with a moat that originally controlled access.
The building contains an advanced mechanical dining system with lifting tables, allowing guests to order meals through written notes sent to kitchen staff below.
