Grand Cascade (Pavlovsk)

The Grand Cascade in Pavlovsk is located on Sadovaya Street and enlivens the Round Pond, which was created on an expanded section of the river. Its sheer wall in the style of Italian gardens has a height of six meters, and the viewing platform behind the balustrade faces east, towards the rising sun. During the Great Patriotic War, the waterfall of the cascade was not damaged, although the underground pipe failed, and in 1990, due to silt and damaged masonry, restoration was required. The terrace covering above the cascade is made of crushed stone and rammed earth, and the image of the waterfall in A. Martynov's painting adorns the Toilet Room of Maria Feodorovna in the Pavlovsk Palace.
