Meadow Park

The Lugovoy Park in Peterhof is one of the most valuable park ensembles of the mid-19th century, which suffered severe damage in 1941–1944. On its territory, between 1848 and 1853, ponds serving as reservoirs for the fountain system were created according to the designs of Stackenschneider and Pilsudski, and sluices were installed in the Babigonsky Pond to supply water to the Upper Garden and the English Park. The park also features the "Ozherki" pavilion, the Belvedere, the Mill, the "Ruin" with columns made of Tivdian marble, and the Church of St. Alexandra. In memory of the Life-Guards Sapper Battalion, whose chief was Nicholas I, a boulder pedestal from Clodt's bronze eagle remains near the Belvedere, and a monument to the 264th Battalion, which held out for five days in September, stands on the Babigon Heights.
