Pavlovsk St. Petersburg suburbanThe zone is located just a few kilometers from Tsarskoye Selo, the terrain around the flat, with small gentle hills.

The first stage of the construction of the palace parkIt began in 1782 under the patronage of architect Charles Cameron on the site of the wooden chambers of Paulusts. Initially, the palace was an ordinary noble estate with economic buildings and a relatively small park. However, Paul I, for whom, in fact, the palace complex was being built, did not agree with architect Cameron about the size of the park and the palace itself, the future emperor wanted more impressive dimensions. And after many disputes and even conflicts with the heir to the throne, Cameron had to change his approach and expand the territory of construction. In the autumn of 1782, the main building of the palace was already standing and the side galleries were completed.
Immediately after the coronation of Paul I to reign (in1796) The newly made emperor ordered to radically rebuild his summer palace, maximally expand its premises and equip nearby territories in accordance with the latest European fashion. Lead the updated project was entrusted to the architect Vincenzo Brenna. Over the next four years, the Pavlovsky Palace was completely rebuilt.

Over the 27 years of her reign, the city and the park, and especially the palace botanical garden, have reached unprecedented heyday. When the empress died, in 1828, Pavlovsk ceased to exist as a royal residence. The city became the patrimony of the younger brother of Nicholas I, Prince Mikhail Pavlovich, who was concerned about the prosperity of Pavlovsk, distributed land plots around the city for building blocks, and paid much attention to the improvement of roads. Under Mikhail Petrovich, a charity orphanage and a free primary school appeared.
