Alexandria (Peterhof)

Alexandria Park in Peterhof served as one of the residences of the Russian emperors from 1830 to 1917 as the Private Country Residence of His Imperial Majesty. On its territory, located on two terraces, are the Cottage, the Farm Palace, and the Chapel, and the area is separated from the Lower Park by a stone wall with the Zverin, Nikolsky, and Sea Gates. At the Lower Dacha, built on the seashore according to the design of architect A. O. Tomishko, Tsarevich Alexei was born and the manifesto on Russia's entry into the First World War was signed. The park and its buildings were opened to the public in the 1920s.
