VWJP+46 Petrodvortsovy District, Saint Petersburg, Russia

By the 1830s-1840s, metal gazebos became fashionable in Russia. For example, in the "Alexandria" park, there is an ornate gazebo called the "Gothic Well." In the "Alexandria" park, near the chapel built in the "Gothic style," stands an ornate gazebo forged from cast iron, called the "Gothic Well." It was created in 1835 based on the designs of the famous Russian artist and architect Charlemagne. The cast iron pavilion over the well was cast at the Berd factory.

This cast-iron gazebo is called the "Gothic Well." It was created in 1835 based on drawings by the famous Russian artist and architect Charlemagne and cast at the Berd factory. The architects here turned to Gothic architecture, with its decorative ornamentation and tall spires, resulting in a gazebo that is light and airy.

The Gothic Well, set against the backdrop of the Gothic Chapel, forms a distinctive "Gothic" architectural ensemble.
