Grand Palace (Oranienbaum)

The Grand Palace in the city of Lomonosov was founded in 1711 on newly acquired lands, and its construction was carried out in stages. From the mid-18th century, the building has a "P" shape in plan, and the service wings form the boundary of the inner southern courtyard — the cour d'honneur. The length of the main facade, facing the Lower Garden and the Gulf of Finland, is 210 meters. The ensemble was complemented by the Lower Garden with three fountains, the work on which was supervised by architect Johann Friedrich Braunstein, and a sea canal, preserved to this day, approached the northern boundary of the garden.
