Pink Pavilion (Pavlovsk)

The Pink Pavilion is the most significant structure by Andrey Voronikhin in Pavlovsk Park, representing a simple building surrounded by rose bushes on all sides. To host Alexander I, a Dance Hall was added to the eastern side of the pavilion in seventeen days according to the design of Pietro di Gottardo Gonzago, causing one of the porticos to end up inside the building and serve as decoration. Instead of the classical acanthus, massive wreaths of roses, cornflowers, and daisies adorn the gate grille, and the historic rose garden was replanted by French landscape architect Louis Benech in 1992–1995. After the revolution, lectures and museum exhibitions were held in the building.
