Peterhof Palace
The Peterhof Palace is a series of palaces and gardens located in Peterhof, 35 km from Saint Petersburg, laid out on the orders of Peter the Great. These palaces and gardens are sometimes referred as the "Russian Versailles". The palace-ensemble along with the city center is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The largest of Peterhof's palaces looks truly imposing when seen from the Lower or Upper Gardens, but in fact it is quite narrow and not overly large. Of its approximately thirty rooms, several deserve mention.
The Grand Palace is not the only historic royal building in Peterhof. The palaces of Monplaisir and Marly, as well as the pavilion known as the 'Hermitage', were all raised during the initial construction of Peterhof during the reign of Peter the Great. The Lower Gardens also contain a large greenhouse, and in the Alexandrine Park stands the palace of Nicholas I.
Like the Lower Gardens, the Upper Gardens contain many fountains, distributed among seven broad pools. The landscaping, though, is entirely different; unlike the Lower Gardens (which are strictly geometric), the Upper Gardens are not. A few of the fountains have curious sculptures.

susan brown Peterhof really is a most spectacular place and well worth visiting. The gardens are delightful and the palaces in the grounds little jewel boxes. The cascades are unbelievable....even in the rain!

Wow! Did it look like this in 1915? If so, what a place to grow up and play, and to call home. Opulent.

Beautiful garden and palace
very impressive.
Beautiful, looks very nice.
It is important that the fountains were designed to run from a height difference with a water source without any pumps
Sehr schön 😘. Danke😘

How incredible the restoration.....Contrast this to photos of the palace and gardens in 1946 not long after the Germanspillaged and ruined it.
Beautiful
Behind it figure there is a history.
в мире два комплекса-соперника ПЕТЕРГОФ и ВЕРСАЛЬ...остальные их близко не стояло...
Outstanding Video.
Великолепные ракурсы! Отличная работа оператора. 👍👍🔝
What a wonderful trip down memory lane! A belated thank you, Massimo for the treat! Yes, Peterhof is magnificent and the restoration, nothing short of remarkable but my pick-of-the-lot for that definitive palace-experience would be Potsdam's more expansive Sanssouci ensemble. In terms of sheer opulence, the Bildergalerie within the complex rivals that of the Pitti's Palatina in Firenze, although the art- collection of the latter is superior ....

Their history is there. Spelled differently.
Wonder how big is the maintenance staff.
Riflessioni: lo. zar spese denaro per costruire meravigliosi palazzi mentre il popolo era sottomesso e in miseria, la rivoluzione russa li distrusse oli saccheggio, più tardi la Russia li ricostruì mentre la popolazione usava la tessera per ricevere il cibo. L’unica cosa che io vedo (the saving grace) e’ l’esito che questa ricostruzione ha dato lavoro a centinaia di artigiani che altrimenti non avrebbero avuto lavoro o sarebbero stati usati per costruire scialbe abitazioni per il popolo. Ora il popolo si può ricreare nella loro scialba vita visitando queste nuove gemme. Così successe con Versailles che noi tutti ammiriamo risplendente nei sui restauri. Grazie per questo magnifico video

The best time to visit St. Petersburg and Peterhof is the period of white nights, when in the evening the sun barely sets below the horizon, and then begins to rise again. That is, a full night does not come. The peak of white nights falls on June 10 - July 2. The duration of the white nights is more than 50 days in total. It is very beautiful, besides you can walk both day and night.

Very nice video, thanks for sharing❤ May I ask what month did you film this video? I went to Russia with tour group at the end of 2023 and they dont have this palace in the plan (because the garden is the highlight of this palace, they said.) Anyway, I had a great time in Russia and fall in love with Saint Petersburg so I promise myself that I will be back in warmer season.

the exterior sequences with the zooms on the statues are well filmed. But the sequences of the apartments with shots filmed from bottom to top, right to left (and the opposite) show that the cameraman has not studied the best way to film, it is too long and deserves a montage with subtitles. Can do better !
Russians have a great taste for gold😅
Wer thes
Perhaps if the Russian nobility had invested this money into the citizens and national infrastructure instead of opulence they would have avoided the troubles they have seen as a nation.
