Round Riga

The Round Riga in Gatchina at 6A Kievskaya Street is an architectural monument built in the 1760s or 1770s by an unknown author, who could have been N. A. Lvov, V. I. Bazhenov, Yu. M. Felten, or V. I. Neelov. The building is located in the historical district of Yekaterinverder, named after the fortress that was designed under Paul I but was never built. In 1846, architect A. M. Baikov carried out repairs, replacing the rafters and roof, and in 1874, material from a dismantled stove was used for the repair of greenhouses. According to the register, the unified monument includes the riga itself with outbuildings and the "Bread Stores," and in 1884 the building was transferred to the cuirassier regiment for housing horses.
