Mikhailovka Estate

The Mikhailovka estate in Peterhof was acquired by the treasury in 1834 for the two-year-old Prince Mikhail Nikolaevich, the son of Nicholas I, and was named in his honor. The park of the estate was redesigned according to the projects of architects A. I. Stackenschneider, A. I. Rezanov, and Bosse, and the laying of the main palace took place in 1858. From 1919 to 1941, the estate housed the labor school-colonies "Krasnye Zori," and the palace itself was heavily damaged during the Great Patriotic War. Currently, AUIPIK has signed a 49-year lease agreement for the ensemble under the "Lease for 1 Ruble" program.
