Gothic Gates (Tsarskoye Selo)

The Gothic Gate is located in the southern part of the Catherine Park in Pushkin, behind the Big Pond. Almost all cast iron elements for it were cast by May 1778 at the Kamensky Plant, where E. Zubitsky spent two weeks preparing models for molding. The gate pillars are topped with pinnacles with four vials decorated with crockets. According to A. N. Petrov, information about Felten's authorship appears in the memorial book of the St. Petersburg Governorate from 1868, and according to E. I. Devikov's version, a reduced copy of the gate was made in the Urals as a gift to Betskoy.
