Pavlovsk- another imperial estate


Pavlovsk is also one of the best imperial estates, closely connected with the royal family. It belonged to Russian tsar Pavel and named in his honor. His mother Russian Empress Catherine the Great presented him with this wonderful estate. Now it belongs to people of Russia and is one of the favorite St. Petersburg tours.

The estate has elegant palace, which was built by the best architects of the 18th century. Tours to Russia are very often connected to this place. The original design was not preserved, as the palace was damaged during the Second World War. Fortunately, the palace was reconstructed in the middle of the 20th century and finally acquired its original décor and glory.

Pavlovsk Park is one of the vast gardens in St. Petersburg, which was really popular among locals and foreigners visiting the estate. The garden has fountains and sculptures, as well as rare flowers, which makes the garden a perfect place for Peterburg travel tourist to have walks and enjoy Russian nature and the art of landscape gardening. English-style landscape garden is one of the best ones in the whole country.
