Pavlovsk

The Pavlovsk Palace, whose first owner was the Emperor Pavel I, is located on the high shore of the Slavyanka River, a tributary of the Neva River. Due to its location, its white and golden silhouette is clearly seen even from distant areas of the magnificent Pavlovsk Park. The exterior look of the palace is modest and austere. Nevertheless, its modesty is only seeming; it creates a stark contrast with its splendid interiors.
