It was founded by Peter the Great, and subsequent emperors introduced their ideas and architectural preferences into its arrangement. The fountain complex of the Grand Cascade is unique both from an engineering and architectural point of view. In these palaces and parks, part of Russian history was really going on. Peterhof suffered greatly during the Great Patriotic War. During the blockade of Leningrad, the city was captured and largely destroyed by the Nazis. But everything was recreated in its original form by the heroic efforts of the people of Leningrad during the years of post-war reconstruction. The free regime of Peterhof in the Soviet era made him one of the favorite places of rest of the townspeople. Leningraders and guests of the city loved this place also for accessibility. Getting to him was easy enough. In particular, along the Neva, from the city center from the Palace Pier.
