Cold Bath with Agate Rooms

The Cold Bath with Agate Rooms is a pavilion in the Catherine Park of Pushkin, whose ground floor features vaulted stone rooms with oak parquet floors and thermal windows. The first floor hosts an exhibition dedicated to the history and restoration of the Agate Rooms, which were restored from 2010 to 2013 using a conservation method with minimal replacement of lost elements. During the Great Patriotic War, the pavilion was destroyed: the Bathing Hall was turned into a stable, and the original pool and floors were obliterated. The ground floor of the complex housed the Bathing Hall with a tin pool, warm and hot baths, while the Russian steam room was equipped with a furnace with a lattice vault, on which cannonballs were placed to create hot steam.
