Telegraph Station (Peterhof)

The Palace Telegraph Station in Alexandria was built in 1858 according to the design of architect A. I. Stackenschneider and operated as a telegraph office from 1859 to 1907. Initially, it was located in the tower of the former optical telegraph on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, where the Lower Dacha was later erected. The station was part of the Kronstadt line of the electromagnetic telegraph, which covered the Russian Empire under Alexander II, and the first dispatches were addressed to the Telegraph Directorate and the Chief Director of Communications. Currently, the museum conducts tours for groups and special events for schoolchildren, costing 6000 and 4500 rubles, respectively.
