When you come to Peterhof, it is hard to imagine that everything you can see here was restored after the Great Patriotic War. After all, unlike Leningrad, which was in the siege ring and was only periodically shelled by the Germans, Peterhof, like Pushkin, Pavlovsk, Gatchina, was occupied by fascist troops for almost 2.5 years, who used it for their own purposes, and then, during the retreat in January 1944, deliberately mined the palaces and fountains. Thanks to the dedicated work of restorers, we can now admire this beautiful park. But Peterhof is not only a park with fountains (Lower Park). This is a fairly large city, which includes many parks, and, perhaps, it is impossible to say with certainty that "I was in Peterhof" .... Where exactly were you?? And most of the other Peterhof parks and palaces have also now been restored. But not all. Restoration of the Lower Dacha of Nicholas II has only recently begun, the English Palace of Catherine the Great was never restored, like many others... Perhaps we will never be able to see what the city of Peterhof really looked like in the imperial era.... Thank you to our subscribers for your financial support!
