Lvov Palace

The Lvov Palace in Strelna is located on a coastal terrace and resembles a medieval castle due to the high crenellated tower in its western part and the combined hipped roof. The building, registered as a cultural heritage site of federal significance under number 7810429000, is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site "Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments". During the Great Patriotic War, the palace was partially destroyed, its furnishings were looted, and the estate park and fire watchtower were destroyed. The last owner was Prince A. D. Lvov, an enthusiast of firefighting, who at the age of 17 created the first voluntary team of "extinguishers" in Russia in Strelna.
