Hospital Town

The Hospital Town in Gatchina includes buildings whose initial construction dates back to 1796, when the city hospital received its staffing schedule. The central element of the complex is the almshouse with a 60-meter-long facade, accentuated by a protruding middle part with a semi-circular entrance. The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was originally located under the dome and bell tower on the second floor, but during the reconstruction, the building lost its rusticated pilasters. Two wings extend from the middle part of the almshouse, each having eleven windows, and the bathhouse with a laundry is located at 13 Hospital Lane.
