The 350th anniversary of Peter the Great.

22 September 2022—22 September 2022


September 22, 2022

  The State Russian Museum and the Russian House in Brussels invite you to a virtual tour through one of the oldest buildings in St. Petersburg - the Summer Palace of Peter the Great.

Lecturer: Marina Gogulina, head of the sector of excursion work of the complex "Summer Garden - Summer Palace - House of Peter I".

The Summer Palace was built for the Russian Tsar Peter I in 1711 by the Italian architect Domenico Trezzini. Architects and sculptors from Western Europe took part in the design of the facades and interiors of the palace: Andreas Schlueter, Georg-Johann Mattarnovi, Jean-Baptiste-Alexandre Le Blond.

After the death of Peter I, the Summer Palace was never rebuilt, although some changes took place in the design of the interiors. To this day, the layout and appearance of the building, the picturesque ceiling lamps of allegorical content, pine wardrobes, tiled stoves and wall decoration with painted Dutch tiles, wood paneling of the ground floor rooms, interior decoration of the Lower and Upper Cooking Rooms and the Green Cabinet have been preserved unchanged.

The Summer Palace of Peter I is not only one of the earliest monuments of architecture in St. Petersburg, but also evidence of the tastes, interests and aspirations of Peter I.

Spectators will be able to imagine themselves in the halls of the palace, look at the picturesque plafonds decorating the main halls and interior items that remember the very first Russian emperor, and get to know Peter I not only as a great reformer, but also as an inventor, owner and family man.
