Kamennoostrovsky Palace
In 1765, Catherine gave her son Pavel, then still a boy, a generous gift - a Stone Island. About ten years have passed, and the Empress decided to use her own gift - she ordered an architect Felten to build a new stone palace on the site of the wooden palace that stood there. After a serious flood in 1777, when construction was stopped for objective reasons, another architect, Giacomo Quarenghi, resumed the work.
Architecturally Kamennoostrovsky Palace is an absolute monument of classicism.
