Upper Park (Oranienbaum)

The Upper Park of Oranienbaum in the city of Lomonosov includes the territory with the pond of the Private Dacha, dug in 1770, where the construction of the Coffee and Maid of Honor's Houses was planned, but the first one was never built. On the banks of the Karosta River in Petrovsky Park, several waterfalls are arranged from granite steps and stone boulders. The park features statues, the history of which is connected with the collection of Auguste de Montferrand: the Apollino and Medici Venus returned to their places in July 1945, and the bronze group Laocoön took its place at the southeast corner of the Chinese Palace in 2018. Also, since 2018, six marble bench-chairs have been placed near the Palace of Peter III.
