Pavilion of the Three Graces

The Pavilion of the Three Graces in Pavlovsk was built according to the design of Charles Cameron in 1801 and became the architect's last work in this park. The outer pediment of the pavilion depicts the goddess of wisdom Minerva, while the pediment facing the palace depicts Apollo, while the entablature has a smooth frieze and a profiled cornice with an egg-and-dart band and dentils. The stylobate of the building is decorated with a stylized archivolt with a keystone made of roughly processed limestone, and the ceiling inside is coffered and decorated with gypsum ornaments. The pavilion is recognized as a monument of architecture of federal significance by a decree of the Russian government dated July 10, 2001.
