Catherine Palace Pushkin St Petersburg Russia Gorgeous Day!
Now, one of the highlilghts of our St Petersburg trip, the Catherine Palace at Pushkin. This was the summer palace of the Russian Tsars. This place was almost destroyed (80%) during World War II, before the Germans retreated after the seige of Leningrad, now called St Petersburg, (yes the Germans controlled this part), they burnt the Palace. Restoring it has taken decades, with work still ongoing. Description of the Palace from Wiki:
The residence originated in 1717, when Catherine I of Russia hired German architect Johann-Friedrich Braunstein to construct a summer palace for her pleasure. In 1733, Empress Elizabeth commissioned Mikhail Zemtsov and Andrei Kvasov to expand the Catherine Palace. Empress Elizabeth, however, found her mother's residence outdated and incommodious and in May 1752 asked her court architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli to demolish the old structure and replace it with a much grander edifice in a flamboyant Rococo style. Construction lasted for four years, and on 30 July 1756 the architect presented the brand-new 325-meter-long palace to the Empress, her dazed courtiers, and stupefied foreign ambassadors.[citation needed]
More than 100 kilograms of gold were used to gild the sophisticated stucco façade and numerous statues erected on the roof. It was even rumoured that the palace's roof was constructed entirely of gold. In front of the palace a great formal garden was laid out. It centres on the azure-and-white Hermitage Pavilion near the lake, designed by Mikhail Zemtsov in 1744, remodelled by Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli in 1749 and formerly crowned by a grand-gilded sculpture representing The Rape of Persephone. The interior of the pavilion featured dining tables with dumbwaiter mechanisms. The grand entrance to the palace is flanked by two massive circumferences, also in the Rococo style. A delicate cast-iron grille separates the complex from the town of Tsarskoe Selo.

Saint Petersburg, Catherine Palace - Russia 4K Travel Channel
It is almost a miracle if one sees pictures of the Catherine Palace after the 2nd World War and then stands today in front of the reconstructed palace. After the war it was completely burnt out, the roof was missing and the bare brick walls soar into the air.
Today, it shines once again in the old splendor of the 18th century.
But from the beginning. We reach Puschkin, a suburb, about 25 km south of St Petersburg directly from the airport. After leaving the car, we stand in front of a small church, the Church of the Annunciation. Empress Elisabeth I built it at the location, where Catherine I once set up a wooden church.
To the right is the Lyceum, where Pushkin spent 6 years. On the left is a park with a monument of Pushkin.
A part of the Orchestra the Catherine Palace plays in front of the entrance to the Catherine Palace.
We walk around the buildings of the forecourt to get an overall impression of this imposing building. Originally, all facade decorations were gilded, but after a short time, it was clear that due to the weather this was not a good idea. Catherine II had them replaced with ocher-colored paint. Only the domes of the church remained gilded. This did not change the overall impression very much.
Artfully designed fences and entrance gates shield the grounds. Chinese temples and figures adorn this part of the park. In the background is a Chinese village. In the distance, we see the arsenal. This part of the park also houses the Alexander Palace.
We enter the Catherine Palace via the large stairwell, decorated with white Carrara marble. Chinese vases adorn the walls. We come to the ballroom. It is decorated with extensive gold-painted decorations so that we just can't stop wondering. After that, we turn in the opposite direction.
An almost endless set of rooms for guests, food, and bedrooms follows. Notable among many decorative details are miniature landscapes and artificial fruit bowls on the dining tables, as Catherine II liked it.
Among all these rooms is also the Amber room.
Originally built for the Berlin Palace, the Prussian king Frederick William I exchanged it with the Tsar Peter the Great against Dragoons.

Es grenzt beinahe an ein Wunder, wenn man Bilder vom Katharinenpalastes nach dem 2. Weltkrieg gesehen hat und dann heute vor dem wieder aufgebauten Schloss steht. Nach dem Krieg war es ausgebrannt, das Dach fehlte und die nackten Ziegelmauern ragten in die Höhe.
Heute strahlt es wieder, wie im 18. Jahrhundert.
Doch von Anfang an. Wir erreichen Puschkin, einen Vorort, ca. 25 km südlich von St. Petersburg direkt vom Flughafen aus. Nachdem wir das Auto verlassen haben stehen wir vor einer kleinen Kirche, der Maria-Verkündigungskirche, die Kaiserin Elisabeth I. an der Stelle erbauen ließ, an der Katharina I einst eine hölzerne Kapelle errichten ließ.
Rechts daneben befindet sich das Lyzeum, das Puschkin 6 Jahre lang besuchte und links wurde ein Park errichtet mit einem Denkmal von Puschkin.
Vor dem Eingang zum Katharinenpalast spielt ein Teil des Orchesters des Katharinenpalastes.
Wir gehen außen um die Gebäude des Vorplatzes herum, um einen Gesamteindruck dieses imposanten Gebäudes zu erhalten. Ursprünglich waren alle Dekorteile der Fassade vergoldet, aber schon nach kurzer Zeit stellte man fest, dass dies witterungsbedingt keine so gute Idee ist. Katharina II ließ sie ockerfarben streichen. Nur die Kuppeln der Kirche blieben weiterhin vergoldet. Am Gesamteindruck des Gebäudes ändert das wenig.
Kunstvoll gestaltete Zäune und Eingangstore schirmen das Gelände ab.
Chinesische Tempel und Figuren schmücken diesen Teil des Parks. Im Hintergrund ist ein chinesisches Dorf zu erkennen. In der Ferne ist das Arsenal zu sehen. Außerdem ist in diesem Teil des Parks der Alexanderpalast errichtet worden.
Wir betreten das Schloss im großen Treppenhaus, das mit weißem Carrara-Marmor ausgestaltet ist. Chinesische Vasen schmücken die Wände. Wir kommen in den Ballsaal. Er ist übermäßig mit vergoldeten Dekorationen verziert, so dass wir aus dem Staunen kaum herauskommen.
Danach wenden wir uns in die entgegengesetzte Richtung.
Eine schier endlose Flucht von Gäste-, Speise-, und Schlafzimmern reihen sich an einander. Auffällig neben vielen dekorativen Details sind Miniaturlandschaften und künstliche Obstschalen auf den Speisetischen, wie sie Katharina II geliebt hatte.
Unter all diesen Zimmern ist auch das Bernsteinzimmer. Ursprünglich für das Berliner Stadtschloss gebaut, tauschte es der Preußenkönig Friedrich Wilhelm I mit dem Zaren Peter dem Großen gegen Dragoner.

The Catherine Palace
The Catherine Palace is a Rococo palace located in the town of Tsarskoye Selo, 30 km south of St. Petersburg, Russia. It was the summer residence of the Russian tsars.
The residence originated in 1717 when Catherine I of Russia hired German architect Johann-Friedrich Braunstein to construct a summer palace for her pleasure. In 1733, Empress Elizabeth commissioned Mikhail Zemtsov and Andrei Kvasov to expand the Catherine Palace. Empress Elizabeth, however, found her mother's residence outdated and incommodious and in May 1752 asked her court architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli to demolish the old structure and replace it with a much grander edifice in a flamboyant Rococo style. Construction lasted for four years, and on 30 July 1756, the architect presented the brand-new 325-meter-long palace to the Empress, her dazed courtiers, and stupefied foreign ambassadors.
More than 100 kilograms of gold were used to gild the sophisticated stucco façade and numerous statues erected on the roof.[citation needed] In front of the palace a great formal garden was laid out. It centers on the azure-and-white Hermitage Pavilion near the lake, designed by Mikhail Zemtsov in 1744, remodeled by Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli in 1749 and formerly crowned by a grand-gilded sculpture representing The Rape of Persephone. The interior of the pavilion featured dining tables with dumbwaiter mechanisms. The grand entrance to the palace is flanked by two massive circumferences, also in the Rococo style. A delicate cast-iron grille separates the complex from the town of Tsarskoe Selo. Although the palace is popularly associated with Catherine the Great, she actually regarded its whipped cream architecture as old-fashioned. When she ascended to the throne, a number of statues in the park were being covered with gold, in accordance with the last wish of Empress Elizabeth, yet the new monarch had all the works suspended upon being informed about the expense. In her memoirs she censured her predecessor's reckless extravagance:
The palace was then being built, but it was the work of Penelope: what was done today, was destroyed tomorrow. That house has been pulled down six times to the foundation, then built up again till it was brought to its present state. The sum of a million six hundred thousand rubles was spent on the construction. Accounts exist to prove it; but besides this sum, the Empress spent much money out of her own pocket on it, without ever counting.
To gratify her passion for antique and Neoclassical art, Catherine employed the Scottish architect Charles Cameron, who not only refurbished the interior of one wing in the Neo-Palladian style then in vogue, but also constructed the personal apartments of the Empress, a rather modest Greek Revival structure known as the Agate Rooms and situated to the left of the grand palace. Noted for their elaborate jasper decor, the rooms were designed so as to be connected to the Hanging Gardens, the Cold Baths, and the Cameron Gallery (still housing a collection of bronze statuary)—three Neoclassical edifices constructed to Cameron's designs. According to Catherine's wishes, many remarkable structures were erected for her amusement in the Catherine Park. These include the Dutch Admiralty, Creaking Pagoda, Chesme Column, Rumyantsev Obelisk, and Marble Bridge.
Upon Catherine's death in 1796, the palace was abandoned in favor of Pavlovsk Palace. Subsequent monarchs preferred to reside in the nearby Alexander Palace and, with only two exceptions, refrained from making new additions to the Catherine Palace, regarding it as a splendid monument to Elizabeth's wealth and Catherine II's glory. After the Great Fire of 1820, Alexander I engaged Vasily Stasov to refurbish some interiors of his grandmother's residence in the Empire style. Twenty years later, the magnificent Stasov Staircase was constructed to replace the old circular staircase leading to the Palace house church. Unfortunately, most of Stasov's interiors—specifically those dating from the reign of Nicholas I—have not been restored after the destruction caused by the Germans during World War II.
When the German forces retreated after the siege of Leningrad, they intentionally destroyed the residence.[1] leaving only the hollow shell of the palace behind. Prior to World War II, Soviet archivists managed to document a fair amount of the interior, which proved of great importance in reconstructing the palace.
Although the largest part of the reconstruction was completed in time for the Tercentenary of St. Petersburg in 2003, much work is still required to restore the palace to its former glory.

St Petersburg Russia Part 2 Pushkin Shop and Going to Catherine Palace
After the first two stops for photos, we stopped for about 15 minutes at a gift shop. There was no compulsion to buy anything, which was good. The purpose of the gift shop stop was also to use their toilets, which were clean. We bought some fridge magnets. Then, we set off to Catherine Palace. The ride would take about 45 minutes. On the way, I saw a Mahan Air plane plane landing. We must be near the St Petersburg Airport.
We were dropped off about 400M from the gate and had to take a leisurely walk to the gate where groups entered. There were many people waiting. Apparently there was a long line for the group leaders to get tickets, so we just waited a bit. This was the group entrance, not the individual entrance.

Catherine palace Екатерининский дворец - Tsarskoye Selo Царское Село
The Tsarskoye Selo palace and State Museum Preserve is a superb monument of world ranking architecture, garden and park design dating from the eighteenth to early twentieth centuries. A whole constellation of outstanding architects, sculptors and painters made the ideas of their crowned clients a reality here. Tsarskoye Selo is a cluster of very fine examples of Baroque and Classical architecture and it was also the first place in the Russian capital where interiors decorated in the Moderne (Art Nouveau) style appeared.
The compositional centre of the ensemble is the Catherine Palace – a splendid example of Russian Baroque. Visitors are enraptured by the sumptuous décor of the Great Hall and the Golden Enfilade of state rooms that includes the world famous Amber Room now returned to life. Today, as we enter the palace, we can sense the spirit of the times of Empresses Elizabeth and Catherine II and admire unique works of fine and applied art.
Tsarskoye Selo is also home to one of the finest creations of Classicism in architecture – the Alexander Palace. Passing through the rooms of the living apartments that are open to visitors, you can get an idea of the aesthetic preferences of the last members of the Romanov dynasty and view the Emperor’s State Study that was decorated in the Moderne style.
More than a hundred historical monuments are scattered across the Catherine and Alexander Parks that have a joint area of 300 hectares: there are grand palaces and intimate pavilions, bridges and marble monuments, and also exotic structures imitating Gothic, Turkish and Chinese architecture that invest little corners of the parks with a romantic atmosphere.
PUSHKIN (TSARSKOYE SELO), RUSSIA - travel shorts
If any proof is needed for the extravagance of Russia's Imperial rulers, then it can be found in the fact that, in less than two centuries, the Romanov Tsars established not one but two suburban estates - at Tsarskoe Selo and Pushkin - that, in terms of grandeur and excess, outstrip even Versailles. What is more, at Tsarskoe Selo, the 18th century saw the construction of two vast and truly exceptional palaces, both surrounded by extensive landscaped gardens with diverse and fascinating decorative architecture.
Built for Empress Elizabeth by Bartolomeo Rastrelli, the architect of St. Petersburg's Winter Palace, the Catherine Palace is undoubtedly Tsarskoe Selo's top attraction, particularly renowned for the extraordinary Amber Room. Less well known, and currently much more dilapidated, the Alexander Palace is nonetheless a neoclassical masterpiece, and has a particularly poignant connection with the family of the last Tsar, Nicholas II.
The town of Pushkin, which surrounds the Tsarskoe Selo estates, is St. Petersburg's most charming suburb. Renamed in Soviet times to honour Russia's greatest poet, the town has numerous sights connected to Alexander Sergeevich, including a museum in the former Imperial Lycee, where he was schooled.
Like Pushkin, Tsarskoe Selo is one of St. Petersburg's must-see attractions, and can easily occupy visitors for a full day. And, like Pushkin, it can be very crowded during the tourist high-season in the summer. Arrive early or be prepared to join long queues, especially for the Catherine Palace.

5:24 Getting to the Catherine Palace from Saint Petersburg
The Catherine Palace (Екатерининский дворец) was the summer residence of the Russian empresses Екатерина I, Елизавета Петровна и Екатерина II in Tsarskoye Selo, which is now called Pushkin.
The Catherine Palace is the center of the complex of the palace and the park on this historic site. The splendor of the Catherine Palace museum displays the work of architects from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The palace is best known for Rastrelli's grand suit of formal rooms known as the Golden Enfilade. The Great Hall, also known as the Hall of Light, covers 860 square meters and occupies the full width of the palace so that there are superb views on either side. The entire ceiling is covered by a monumental fresco entitled The Triumph of Russia.
During World War II, the territory of Tsarskoye Selo was occupied and the palace was almost completely destroyed, of the 58 halls destroyed during the war years, 32 have been recreated.
The jewel of the palace is the Amber Room (Янтарная комната), rightly called a wonder of the world.
The palace and park ensemble of Tsarskoye Selo is recognized as one of the best monuments in the world to the art of landscape gardening in the XVIII – XX centuries.
In the summer of 1831, the famous Russian poet and writer Alexander Pushkin rented a cottage in Tsarskoye Selo, where he wrote the letter to Tatiana from Onegin, completing the novel in poems Eugene Onegin. In 1937 Tsarskoye Selo was renamed to the town of Pushkin, thus commemorating the centenary of the poet's death.

Grand Duchess Elizabeth Petrovna of Russia, Empress of Russia
Elizaveta Petrovna (29 December [O.S. 18 December] 1709 -- 5 January 1762 [O.S. 25 December 1761]), also known as Yelisavet and Elizabeth, was a daughter of Peter the Great of Russian and Catherine I of Russia. Elizabeth became the Empress of Russia in 1741 in a coup against the infant Tsar Ivan VI. She led the country to victory in the War of Austrian Succession (1740--8) and brought it into the Seven Years' War (1756--63). On the eve of her death, Russia spanned almost 4,000,000,000 acres (16,000,000 km2)
Her domestic policies allowed the nobles to gain dominance in local government while shortening their terms of service to the state. She encouraged Mikhail Lomonosov's establishment of the University of Moscow and Ivan Shuvalov foundation of the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg. She also spent exorbitant sums of money on the grandiose baroque projects of her favourite architect, Bartolomeo Rastrelli, particularly in Peterhof and Tsarskoye Selo. The Winter Palace and the Smolny Cathedral in Saint Petersburg remain the chief monuments of her reign. She remains one of the most popular Russian monarchs due to her strong opposition to Prussian policies and her abstinence from executing a single person during her reign.
Elizabeth never married, although she was once engaged to Prince Karl Augustus of Holstein-Gottorp, and never had any children. Upon her death, her nephew, Grand Duke Peter became Peter III. However it was not Peter but his wife, Catherine who would rule Russia as Catherine the Great and as Elizabeth's successor.
