The Kikensky Pogost manuscript of 1500 also mentions the village of Strelna "on the Strelna River by the sea." In 1617, a peace treaty between Russia and Sweden was signed in the village of Stolbovo near Tikhvin, which ended the Russo-Swedish War of 1614â€“1617, and the village of Strelna, along with other territories, was transferred to Sweden. Victories in the Great Northern War (1700â€“1721) allowed Russia to acquire lands on the shores of the Baltic Sea, including the Strelna Manor, where Peter I often stayed during his trips from Saint Petersburg to Kronstadt.

Petersburg: Neo-Gothic

Everyone who has passed through Strelna has repeatedly seen the large sandy-colored neo-Gothic mansion standing near the Peterhof highway on the edge of a natural ledge. This is the former palace of Prince Lvov, one of the prominent and beautiful palaces of Strelna. And although the palace itself fits organically into the modern surroundings and is only about one and a half centuries old, the lands on which it was built have long been owned by a variety of people.

The Travel Palace (Peter I's Small Palace) is the earliest building in the suburb of Strelna near Petersburg that has survived to this day from the Petrine era. The palace is located not far from the shore of the Gulf of Finland, in the southern part of the Neva Bay, on a low hill left after the retreat of glaciers, surrounded by ravines, near the Strelka River.
