The park is a part of Tsarskoe Selo palace and park ensemble. Alexandrovsky Park covers an area of 120 hectares. Its old regular part (the New Garden) was laid out in the 1750s (allegedly, by architects S.I. Chevakinsky, N. Girard); it is divided by Krestovy Canal into four squares with amusement tricks: scarpir (a round area with slopes), Chinese theatre (1778-79, architects A. Rinaldi, I.V. Neelov); Parnas hill and water maze. Over the canal, Krestovy, Kitaysky, Drakonov and other bridges were erected (built in the 1770s, architect Neelov). The complex of Chinese Village is situated south of the New Garden. The landscape park was established in the 1790s at the same time with the construction of Alexandrovsky Palace on the ground of the Menagerie of the period of Elizaveta Petrovna's reign (the fragments of bastions and canals setting its bounds remained to date). In the landscaped part of Alexandrovsky Park the artificial ponds were made: Detsky Pond (on the island there is a pavilion built for Emperor Nicholas I's children), Nizhny Pond, Vittolovsky Pond, and Lamsky. In the 1820s–30s according to the projects of architect A.A. Menelas, ornamental pavilions were built in various parts of the park. These included the White Tower (1821 - 27; destroyed during the Great Patriotic War, restored in the 1990s); the Arsenal (1819-34; built on the site of Mon bijou pavilion designed by architect S.I. Chevakinsky in 1747-54); Chapelle (Chapel; 1825–28) – neo-Gothic. Opposite the Chapelle, there are classical palace green-houses (1819-28). In the western part of Alexandrovsky Park flows the Kuzminka river, which has been dammed. Beside the river stands Lamsky Pavilion (1882), built for keeping lamas given to Emperor Alexander I (Nicholas II established a dark room here); and Pensionerskie Stables (1827-29), where emperors' horses were kept. North of Alexandrovsky Park, there are Feodorovsky Village, Ratnaya Chamber and other buildings in the neo-Russian style of the beginning of the 20th century. Reference: see Tsarskoe Selo. A. A.

In 1717-1723, on this site a small stone palace of Empress Catherine I (architect I.F. Braunstein) was constructed concurrently with the establishment of the Catherine Park. From 1743, work on the palace extension was started (architect M.G. Zemtsov), after his death work continued under the guidance of architects A.V. Kvasov and S.I. Chevakinsky. From late 1748 - architect F. Rastrelli. In May of 1752, Empress Elizaveta Petrovna ordered everything that had been erected earlier to be reconstructed and in 1756 the Catherine Palace was completed. At this stage it consisted only of the western parade court, framed by single-story semicircular buildings - surrounded with splendid wrought railings with gilded details and gates along the central axis of the palace. The facades are decorated with moulded figures of caryatids, cartouche, masks (sculptor I. F. Dunker), marked with ochre colour against the turquoise background (up to the 1770s, the stucco work was gilded). Originally the front staircase was in the south section of the Catherine Palace, on the second floor were also located the "Golden Enfilade", comprising of five "antechambers", double tiered Grand Hall and a number of sitting rooms, their fretwork above the doors created an impression of a gold stream. Among the interiors is the Amber Room. The length of the Catherine palace's facades is over 325 metres. The central part of the building (The Middle House) has retained the parameters of the palace of Catherine I. The side wings that replaced the original open terrace unite the central part with the wings: to the north there is a church (1779-84, architect I.V. Neelov) and to the south - Zubovsky (1778-1784, architect Y.M. Felten). Under Catherine II, in the 1780s, new interiors were added according to the designs of C. Cameron: the Arabesque and the Lyon sitting rooms, the Silver Study and others in the south part of the Catherine Palace, the rooms of the Grand Prince Pavel Petrovich (the Green dining-room, the Bedchamber and others) in the northern part. To the south-eastern side of the Catherine Palace the complex of the so-called Cameron Gallery, the Cold Bath (Agate Pavilion), the hanging garden and the ramp (1780-87; 1792-94) are united. In 1817-20, and in the 1840s architect V.P. Stasov made some changes in the palace's interiors, in 1860-63 architect I. A. Monighetti (Chinese front staircase in the central part). Since 1918, the Catherine Palace has been a palace-museum, in 1941-44, it was practically levelled, restoration following the project of architect A.A. Kedrinsky was launched in 1957. Restoration works continue up to the present. See also "Tsarskoe Selo" article. A. A. Alexeev.

Neelov (see the Neelov family) in the late 1770s, and the Hermitage kitchen in the Pseudo-Gothic style at the Wild Grove entrance. The practice of tree trimming was ceased under Empress Catherine II, and the garden lost its regular character. The landscape part of the Catherine Park (1762-96, garden masters J. Bush, T. Ilyin, architect V.I. Neelov) was laid out around the Great Pond, the geometric outlines of which were changed to fit the landscape style, and the following artificial islands were made: the Great Island (with a hall on it, 1794, architect G. Quarenghi), Wild Island, Stone Island, and Rabbit Island. Artificial Cascading Ponds were connected with the Great Pond. Admiralty complex (1773-77, architect V.I. Neelov) is situated on the east bank of the Great Pond. The Column of Morea (1771), Kagul Obelisk (1771-72) and Chesme Column (1774-76) were erected in honour of victories in the Russo-Turkish Wars of the second half of the 18th century in the landscape part of the park by projects of architect A. Rinaldi. In the south part of the Catherine Park the Tower Ruin with a rampart of packed earth (1771-73), the Gothic Gates (1777-80, architect Y.M. Velten), and Gatchina (Orlov) Gates (1777-78, architect Rinaldi). Nearby, located beyond the park boundary, the Crimea Column is situated (1777-85, sculptor G.I. Kozlov). Swan pools with weirs and cascades are located to the southwest of the Great Pond, behind Sibirsky (Palladiev) Bridge (1772-74, architect V. I. Neelov). The Pyramid with a cemetery for dogs of the royal court with Water Laborinth near it are in the same part of the park. In the western part of the Catherine park there is the Ramp Alley and the Granite Terrace (1809, architect L. Rusca), on which copies of Antique sculptures were installed in the 1850s (master A. Hamburger). A path leads down from the terrace to the Milk Maid fountain (1816, engineer A.A. Bethencourt; female statue - sculptor P.P. Sokolov). To the west of the Ramp Alley there are the Upper Ponds, with the Concert Hall on an island with the Kitchen Ruins (1782-88, architect Quarenghi) and the Evening Hall pavilion (1796, architect I.V. Neelov, 1810-11, architect Rusca). the Catherine Park is separated from the Chinese Village by Podkapriznaya Road. In the 19th century the Catherine Park was enriched with: gates "For My Dear Colleagues" (1817, architect V.P. Stasov), the Turkish Baths (the 1850s, architect I.A. Monighetti), the Personal Garden was laid out with marble pergola and a fountain (1865, architect A.F. Vidov). The Regular design of the Old Garden was restored in the 1960-70s (architect N.E.

Founded in 1714 by peasants- resettlers from villages of the Moscow, Yaroslavl, Vologda and Kostrona regions, later the village has grown in the rich many-populated village of Bolshoye Kuzmino. The imperial residence in Tsarskoye Selo was created by the village inhabitants’ work. Probably , Lukoyanov, a peasant of Kuzmino Village who made glazed tiles for the Tsarskoye Selo Palace of Catherine I, the Belomoins, peasants of Kuzmino Village, the palace contractors and house-owners of Tsarskoye Selo, Tatyana Ivanova, a peasant of Kuzmino Villahe who was a confidante of Empresses Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine II, as well as an unknown woman-peasant of Kuzmino Village whose portraits were painted by the court painters on Emperor’s order were buried in this cemetery. In 1747 the wooden Church of the Assumption was transmitted from a closed cemetery located in the palace sloboda (district) of Tsarskoye Selo to the cemetery of the village of Kuzmino where the church was consecrated in the name of the Annunciation of the Mother of God. There are no earlier information about the cemetery and church, but the title of the village as “sloboda” in the late 1710s confirms about their presence. The stone Church of the Annunciation with the Italian appearance of the outstanding beauty was built in 1783-1785 to the design of G. Quarenghi instead of the wooden cemetery church. The Icon of the Mother of God of Kazan, seen at the source at the foot of a hill to Kuzmino Village peasant Marfa Yekimova, was saved in this church for a long time. The Kuzmino cemetery on an equal footing with the aristocratic Kazan cemetery was the burial place of many famous citizens of Tsarskoye Selo. V.I. Neyelov, the founder of the dynasty of Tsarskoye Selo architects, was buried here in 1782(9?) (The gravestone was restored in 1957). Burial places of his family and sons I.V. Neyelov and P.V. Neyelov were lost as well as the family burial place of the architects Kokorevs, the grave of the famous publisher P.P. Soikin and many others. In 1941-1944 the village of Bolshoye Kuzmino and the Church of the Annunciation, that were at the defence leading edge, were destroyed. Defenders of blockade Leningrad took cover and died near the cemetery trees and the church walls. Now the monument the Home Guards of The Green Belt of Glory, two memorial guns of which are placed in front of the entrance into the cemetery, remember about their feat of arms.

The round hall, placed higher then other rooms, with the dome on the windowed drum, is surrounded by ten rooms (six round rooms and four rectangular ones). In the central hall there was a copper tin-plated bath-indoor pool for bathing. Around the hall there was a cloakroom, sweating-room, bath-rooms heated with fireplaces. Water was heated up in two water boilers and pumped over pipes for washing. Rooms were lighted up through windows-lucarnes made in the top part of plain walls. Walls and plafonds of the rooms were painted, but the painting was not survived until our days. In 2011 in the pavilion the pull was reconstructed and an exhibition, reproducing the historical situation, was organized. The exhibition is opened for visiting in summer season.

The location of the pavilion on the third upper terrace of the Old Garden let to include the pavilion in the panorama of the Mirror Pond and the Half-Moon Pond and the Cameron Gallery. The well-decorated interior was painted by the painter – decorator A.I. Belsky with fresco scenes of the attic myth about Phaethon and Helios. Engravings, based on the drawings of F. Smuglevich and V. Brenna which was done from Emperor Nero’s Golden House paintings in Rome, were used for frescos’ basis. Inside there was a cloakroom, sweating-room, bathroom, room of a boiler-man. All rooms were not large. The central octahedral hall was used for resting. The first museum of Tsarskoye Selo was opened here in 1910 for the 200-years anniversary of Tsarskoye Selo. Since that year pavilion became to name the Upper Bath, it was likely considered more euphonic than “mylnya (wash-house)”. The building was burned during World War II and the fascists occupation of Pushkin Town in 1941-1944. The restoration and renewal were done in 1952-1954 to the design of the architect S.M.
