Aviaries (Peterhof)

The Aviaries in Peterhof are two identical twelve-sided pavilion-gazeboes with domes, located near the Menazherny Pond on the Monplaisir Alley. Built in 1772–1776 according to the design of architect Yu. M. Felten, they are a cultural heritage site under number 7810406061. The ceiling painting of the eastern aviary, executed by the artist Louis Caravaque in the Rococo style, is considered one of the few surviving decorative works by him. Initially, the domes of the pavilions were covered with canvas, which in 1751 was replaced with sheet iron removed during the reconstruction of the Great Palace.
