Pavlovsk Park

Pavlovsk Park is a sprawling garden estate in Pavlovsk with different sections arranged around the Slavyanka River. The property features a palace area, open meadows, small bridges, temples, and arbors scattered throughout the grounds.

The park was granted to Paul I by Catherine II in 1777 and then developed as a noble estate. Famous architects worked on creating a palace and gardens following European models.

The park blends Russian and European influences in its gardens, temples, and pavilions that dot the landscape. Visitors can walk through different sections and see how architectural styles were mixed to create something that felt both foreign and at home.

The grounds are easy to walk through, with wide paths that lead through the different areas. There are shaded spots and places to rest, so you can take your time exploring at a leisurely pace.

Scattered through the park are small buildings like the Milk House and Pil Tower, which were meant as places for games and gatherings. These unexpected structures show how residents created spaces to engage playfully with the garden and nature.
