Petersburg, Suburbs: The Secrets of Pavlovsk

For Browsing

Located 25 kilometers from Saint Petersburg, by the Slavyanka and Tyzva rivers, is Pavlovsk, once one of the residences of Emperor Paul and Empress Maria Feodorovna. These lands were gifted by Catherine II to her son, Tsarevich Paul Petrovich, in honor of the birth of the heir — the future Emperor Alexander I. In 1778, two small wooden palaces were built here – Paullust (Paul’s Joy) and Mariental (Maria’s Valley).
