✨The Great Gatchina Palace was built in 1766-1781 in Gatchina according to the project of Antonio Rinaldi for the favorite of Catherine II Count Grigory Grigoryevich Orlov. Located on a hill above Silver Lake, the palace combines the themes of a medieval castle and a country residence. The interiors of the palace are an example of Russian classicism at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries. The palace was one of the favorite resting places of the royal family✨
