Private Garden (Pavlovsk Park)

The Private Garden of the Pavlovsk Park is located between the southern wing of the palace and the river, under the windows of the Empress's private rooms, and is enclosed by the palace walls and a high wrought-iron fence. It was designed in 1784 by Charles Cameron and F.-H. Viollier, and in 1801–1803 it was laid out by Cameron, Viollier, and the master gardener Wiesler. The garden preserves a linden quincunx from the 1780s — a planting of trees in rows in a checkerboard pattern with trimmed crowns. The object of cultural heritage of federal significance was declared by the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 527 of July 10, 2001.
