This is my attempt to build one of the most beautiful country palaces of St. Petersburg. Park and the interior, I thought of myself because it seems to me impossible to do them for what they really are. I hope you enjoy! And a little historical reference:
To the east of the main park at Peterhof lies an expanse of landscaped parkland in the English style, named after Alexandra Fedorovna, wife of Nicholas I. Originally divided amongst Peter the Great's favourites, including Alexander Menshikov, who began to build a palace here shortly before he was disgraced and exiled, the land was used as a royal hunting ground for most of the 18th century, and then left to go wild after the court moved to Tsarskoe Selo.
In 1825, the land was passed to Nicholas I, who commissioned Adam Menelaws, a Scottish architect and landscape gardener, to create an English-style estate with a "cottage" palace and home-farm. This was in part a concession to Alexandra, formerly Charlotte of Prussia, who found the pomp and grandeur of court life oppressive and intrusive. The Cottage Palace was completed in 1829, and became the permanent summer residence of the Tsar's family.
