Craftsman Yard (Peterhof)

The Craftsmen's Yard in Peterhof, occupied by the CJSC "First Peterhof Restoration Workshops," was built in 1732 according to the design of M. G. Zemtsov for serf builders of the palace complex. The first craftsmen's building was a wooden house with a tower and a bell, under which there was an arch for passage to the yard territory. In 1798, a stone House with a tower was erected on this site, becoming the first stone building in Peterhof, and on September 9, 2005, a carillon of 51 bronze bells was installed in its two-story square tower.
