Avrova Street

Avrov Street in Peterhof runs along Alexandria Park, to which a significant part of its even-numbered side adjoins. This street is home to the complex of Palace Stables in the shape of a trapezoid with nine massive towers, imitating an English Gothic castle, and the Coffee House with a two-story central section. It also houses the barracks of the Life Guard Uhlan Regiment, which distinguished itself in the battles of Austerlitz and Friedland, and the house of A. A. Avenarius, built in 1838–1839. After the revolution, the stables complex was transferred to the "Petrodvorets" sanatorium, where medical and residential buildings were located.
