Terrace near Carp Pond
Terrace near Carp Pond, Cultural heritage terrace in Gatchina, Russia.
The stone terrace features wide staircases on both sides leading directly to the water, with limestone lion sculptures placed near the entrance.
Built between 1792 and 1795 under the design of V. Brenna, the terrace functioned as a dock for the Gatchina Fleet during the 18th century.
The structure incorporates traditional Russian architectural elements with marble decorations, connecting the main palace complex to the surrounding water features.
Visitors can access the terrace through multiple pathways within the Gatchina Museum-Preserve, with guided tours available throughout the operating hours.
From the opposite shore of White Lake, the terrace creates an extended visual foundation for the palace, forming an integrated architectural composition.
