Upper Garden (Peterhof)

The Upper Garden of Peterhof is a formal park with an area of 15 hectares, laid out under Peter I and located between St. Petersburg Avenue and the Grand Peterhof Palace. The elongated rectangular garden, enclosed on three sides by a fence, is adorned with five fountains, including the sculptural group "Neptune," which was made in Germany in the 1650s. In 2024, the park reopened after a large-scale four-year restoration, during which the drainage, networks, pools, fence, stairs, gazebos were restored according to the drawings of Pierre-Antoine de Saint-Hilaire, and the historical shape was returned to every tree and shrub.
