The Pink Pavilion is a wooden building with four facades and a small dome, built in 1807-1812 according to the design of the architect A. Voronikhin. The Pink Pavilion was surrounded on all sides by roses, and the main theme of its interior decoration was also roses. In 1814, a dance hall was added to the pavilion according to the design of C. Rossi and P. Gonzago. The hall was built in just 17 days - for a ball in honor of the return of Alexander I from Paris after the victory over Napoleon. These days, literary readings and musical evenings are held in the Pink Pavilion.

At the place where four park areas connect with each other - White Birch, Parade Field, Old and New Sylvia - a pavilion arose at the beginning of the 19th century, which soon became one of the most beautiful and famous buildings Pavlovsky Park. Here, on the shore of the pond, next to the alley leading towards the palace, the brother of Paul I’s childhood friend, Prince Alexei Kurakin, built a dacha in 1799. In 1806, it was bought and rebuilt by Prince L. Bagration, and in 1812, the house, sold to the treasury, was rebuilt by A. Voronikhin into a park pavilion, called the Rose Pavilion, as it was surrounded by rose gardens. In the decoration of the building itself, everything was subordinated to the theme of this queen of flowers.

Dance hall Here, in the company of the hostess of Pavlovsk, artists and writers gathered, here everyone could write their own poems and heartfelt dedications in an album, here Maria Feodorovna tried to fulfill all the wishes of sensitive and educated guests, entry to whom was open at any time. On July 27, 1814, the Pink Pavilion and its surroundings became the site of a great celebration - the meeting of Alexander I, who returned from Paris after the victory over Napoleon. On this occasion, a Dance Hall was added to the pavilion according to the design of K. Rossi; P. Gonzaga painted theatrical scenery on the boards, depicting a Russian village. These decorations, installed in the air against the backdrop of the landscapes of the park, created a complete illusion of real buildings, against the backdrop of which the performance of the meeting of the winning troops by the people was played out.

Dance Hall The scenery, despite repeated repairs, was destroyed already in the 19th century, and the pavilion itself - during the war. Revived as a result of long-term research and restoration work, the Pink Pavilion organically fits into the landscape park environment and amazes with both the nobility of its style and the surprisingly found scale of the relationship between the relief, vegetation, the building itself and people, characteristic of Pavlovsk.

Opening hours and ticket prices for the Pink Pavilion.

Probably, few people know where the famous Peterhof waterfalls get their waters from. Most often, guests who come to Petrodvorets are content with the excursions offered in the Upper and Lower parks. They are worth it, but if you go a couple of kilometers south from the park, you can follow a picturesque alley to get to Meadow Park.

Meadow Park of Petrodvorets is included in the historical palace and park ensemble with an area of more than 1000 hectares, which has national and international significance. The park is an architectural monument of the 19th century. It was conceived as a landscape park. On the territory of the park there is a unique hydraulic system (canals, storage ponds, sluice-regulators), created according to the plan Peter I to provide water for the fountains of Petrodvorets and Strelna. The uniqueness of the hydraulic system lies in the fact that its uninterrupted functioning is ensured by the natural resources of the catchment area.

From the main entrance to the Upper Garden, along Samsonovsky pipeline, a wide road lined with linden trees, 2 kilometers long, stretches to the south.

It ends at the Round Pond in front of Pink Pavilion, decorating the entrance to Lugovoy, or Ozerkovy, park.

The park was founded in the middle of the 19th century on the site of swamps and peasant fields. Architect A. Stackenschneider drew up a design for buildings, engineer M. Pilsudski laid out ponds and canals on the area, designed bridges, and the garden master P. Erler selected and planted trees and shrubs.

Developing the principles of landscape parks, Russian park designers of the mid-19th century believed that main beauty they are made up of elements characteristic of nature itself: meadows, ponds, islands on them, freely placed groups of trees, flowers. The decisive role in the design of the new park area was given to meadows and reservoir ponds. Along ten ponds, stretched out like a necklace and connected by canals, sections of the Meadow Park are located.

Pink, or Ozerkovy, pavilion - the main thing architectural structure park - was built in 1845-1848 according to the design of A. Stackenschneider, similar to the pavilions of Olgin's pond. During the Great Patriotic War, the Pink Pavilion was destroyed.

It was located at the beginning of the cast-iron Samsonovsky water conduit, on a dam almost surrounded by reservoirs: Samsonovsky pool, Big Round And Mill Ponds, consisted of two one-story volumes connected by a small gallery and a high three-story tower topped with a Tuscan order colonnade, which served as the main viewing platform for this part of the park.

The main entrance was decorated with an open portico, over which a canopy was supported by herms (tetrahedral pillars with heads on top) made of gray granite, made by a sculptor A. I. Terebenev(the author of the Atlantean sculptures at the entrance of the New Hermitage), and a semicircular granite terrace with a lattice where the valves of the fountain pipes are located.

The portico was covered with ivy, and inside it, in the green twilight, stood a beautiful statue of the Italian sculptor Barucci "Sleeping Nymph". The adjoining three-story tower with an open terrace at the top also gave the building an extraordinary poetic quality. The garden laid out around the pavilion amazed with the grace of its flower lawns, bridges, terraces near ponds, and the richness of its sculptural decoration.

The pavilion was severely damaged during the war, the pergolas, other small works and sculptures were lost, the tower was destroyed (there is information that at least some of the herms were taken to the Peterhof Museum-Reserve, where they are preserved to this day).

Only the platform with a retaining wall made of gray granite, on which the sculptural group “Nile” was once installed, has survived. Several roads connected to the pavilion, connecting it with other parks of Peterhof and with remote areas of Meadow Park. They walked south along the conduit and southwest to the Belvedere.

Unfortunately, no one is trying to reconstruct this monument (unlike the visited Lower Park and Alexandria), so the most that is enough is the installation of a memorial plaque...

And this is how the Pink Pavilion is depicted in a watercolor by Luigi Premazzi (1850), in a painting located in State Hermitage. What is called - find 10 differences...

Pink Pavilion

In the spring of 1823, Ivan Andreevich felt unwell. The back of my head was squeezed by a dull, excruciating pain, elusive black flies flashed in my eyes, my body became heavy. Hammers were pounding in my ears from the rush of blood to my head. Rising from the sofa, he fell. A few days later a second blow followed. The cheek was paralyzed, the face was distorted. With great difficulty he reached the Olenins. He said in a slurred tongue, addressing Elizaveta Markovna: “After all, I told you that I would come to die at your feet!”

Doctors were immediately called in, leeches were placed behind his ears, and Ivan Andreevich lay in the Olenin house for several weeks. Remarkable health and attentive care defeated the disease. He began to recover, although very slowly. The news of the fabulist's illness alarmed the entire capital. An evil epigram composed by Kondraty Ryleyev went around the city:

There is no approval for talents,

In Russia there is wilderness and game.

About Krylov's talent

It barely reminded me of paralysis.

The epigram was caused by the fact that, having learned about the grave condition of the fabulist, the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna invited him to her place in Pavlovsk until he recovered.

Maria Fedorovna loved to be considered a benefactor of literature and art. Caring for Krylov made her popular in the eyes of society. She was born in a small German principality, and the future empress spent her youth at the seedy ducal court. At the whim of Catherine II, the impoverished German princess Sophia Dorothea Augusta Louise became the wife of the heir to the Russian throne, Pavel Petrovich, at the age of seventeen and, having converted to Orthodoxy, began to be called Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna. During Catherine's life, she experienced many hardships and humiliations, since the powerful empress hated her son and kept him and her daughter-in-law in constant suspicion and fear. And even after the accession of Paul I, the former princess Sofia Dorothea had a hard time: she was forced to share influence with the emperor’s mistress, Nelidova. Only now, as the mother of the reigning emperor, did she find her real place. She founded a number of charitable institutions, patronized literature and art, gathering poets and artists in Pavlovsk.

The cult of family and rural complacency dominated in Pavlovsk. There was a “Family Grove” with a marble urn, a “Temple of Friendship” dedicated to Catherine II, a “Monument to Parents” with the names of Maria Feodorovna’s German relatives carved on marble boards, and, finally, a “Monument to her husband” - Paul I: a building in the style of an ancient temple. Inside the temple there was a monument depicting Maria Feodorovna herself, prostrated in front of an urn, and on the bas-relief of the pedestal - the entire orphaned family of the strangled emperor. Like her peers, the princesses of small German principalities, Maria Feodorovna was sentimental. She loved the rural idyll and set an example of thriftiness.

A “Chalet” and a “Farm” were built in Pavlovsky Park, which had a cowshed and a poultry house. In her youth, Maria Fedorovna even milked the calmest of cows herself.

But the main attraction of Pavlovsk was the Pink Pavilion, built by Voronikhin. The wooden pavilion was surrounded by roses, roses were woven on furniture and depicted on dishes. The pavilion served as a shelter for writers and artists. Here Karamzin read chapters of the “History of the Russian State”, poets Neledinsky-Meletsky, Zhukovsky, Gnedich, F. Glinka read their poems, Orest Kiprensky painted, Gonzago and Bruni painted the scenery.

Time in Pavlovsk passed in continuous entertainment. The Empress either rode with guests around the park in strollers, or organized literary readings, or invited societies of magicians or visiting foreigners with learned monkeys, dogs, and trained horses for fun.

In Pavlovsk, lunch invariably began at four o'clock. Ivan Andreevich ate to his heart's content, not paying attention to the conversations. The court courtesan Neledinsky-Meletsky somehow could not resist and whispered to him: “Ivan Andreevich, skip at least one dish and give the empress the opportunity to treat you.” - “Well, why not treat him?” - answered Krylov.

In the green groves of Pavlovsk Park, in walks along the winding ribbon of Slavyanka, the fabulist’s health was soon restored. He became cheerful and willingly joked with those around him. After all, it was much easier to laugh it off than to speak seriously! He laughed off court etiquette, attacks on his freedom, and attacks on his fables. Ivan Andreevich avoided ceremonial evenings and official outpourings. On the eve of a gala dinner on the occasion of a family holiday in the royal family, he cited ill health, the fact that he was allegedly bitten by a poisonous fly, and did not come to the palace. In case the Empress noticed his absence, Ivan Andreevich sent a comic message to her beloved lady-in-waiting Varvara Pavlovna Ushakova:

Treated not according to merit,

For you and all your friends

Krylov sends a bow from his cell,

Where, he was bitten by a fly,

Sits, swollen like Cupid -

But not pathos and not Cretan,

Or Tatar, or Kalmyk.

What to do?.. we must endure!..

But to ease the pain,

Can't you feel sorry for me?..

You are so kind, kind, sweet, -

Can't you persuade your friends?

To remember poor Krylov,

When will dessert go around?..

Believe me, it's out of your hands

It will be medicine for the sick.

The joke was appreciated, and fruits and sweets were immediately sent to the dessert lover.

During Ivan Andreevich's stay in Pavlovsk, a home performance was staged in the palace. They played "Demyanov's ear" in their faces. The fabulist himself portrayed Foku, and Krylov’s longtime acquaintance, Prince Fyodor Golitsyn, portrayed the less than cordial hospitable character. Princess Khilkova represented the silent mistress. The spectators laughed to tears when the corpulent and clumsy Ivan Andreevich, with unusual speed, taking his belongings into his arms, hastily ran away from the annoying owner.

Ivan Andreevich became stronger and rested. He began to be burdened by the need to put on a tailcoat or uniform every day, dine in prim company, and be invariably pleasant and smiling. He longed for his apartment, strewn with tobacco ash, for such a comfortable sofa, dented by his heavy body, for Fenichka, for evenings at the English Club.

It was not so easy to ask for time off. The Empress was bored, and the fabulist entertained her with his funny jokes and eccentricities. Ivan Andreevich decided to flatter the empress, to thank her in advance for her hospitality, then she would sooner let him go to his usual, free life. He wrote the fable “Cornflower” in her honor, where in a transparent allegorical form he compared himself with a withered cornflower, revived by the rising sun.

He copied his fable into one of the albums located in the Rose Pavilion. Ivan Andreevich calculated correctly - the fable gave him freedom. The flattered empress did not oppose his departure.

Maria Fedorovna continued to favor the fabulist. She even gave him an expensive porcelain cup with a lid. The cup was of fine workmanship, real sax, covered with cobalt, with paintings on the stamps. But the empress felt sorry for her, and she sent a footman to take the cup back. However, Ivan Andreevich did not give it up. The Empress had no choice but to say: “What to do with the old man? Let him stay with her." When Ivan Andreevich was informed about this, he immediately composed a not very respectful impromptu:

Fedka eats radish with vodka,

Fedka eats vodka with radish.

History of the construction of the Rose Pavilion

The Pink Pavilion is the most beautiful monument of Russian culture, which arose at the beginning XIX century. Due to its sophistication, the pavilion became one of the most famous buildings in Pavlovsk Park. Being surrounded on all sides by rose gardens, the place was called the Rose Pavilion. Initially, the building was Bagration's dacha. But already in 1812, especially for Empress Maria Feodorovna, the chief architect of Pavlovsk, Andrei Voronikhin, rebuilt the dacha into a beautiful pavilion on four columned porticos, which were decorated with picturesque paintings of the games of cupids. Above the main pediment there is an inscription in French “Pavilion of Roses”.

The Empress was a passionate lover and connoisseur of flowers. She was brought special varieties of roses for the rosary from all over Europe. The owner of the pavilion wanted to turn it into the Kingdom of Flowers. The entire interior of the pavilion was made using fresh flowers or their images. The walls were covered with garlands of flowers, the domed rotunda hall was replete with a variety of flowers, and delicate embroideries depicting roses were draped everywhere on the exquisite furniture. In 1814, a dance hall was added to the flower pavilion, the painting of which was done by D.B. Scotty. The interior style remained the same - flower garlands on the lampshades, artificial roses forming a huge rosette under the dome, a 4-tier chandelier decorated with green leaves and much more. This decor reflects the unique style of Russian decorative art at the beginning of the 19th century.

It was in the Pink Pavilion that a solemn meeting took place with the winner of Napoleon and the liberator of Europe, Alexander I. Hymns of praise and cantatas in honor of the winner, fireworks and cannon fire made this event especially festive and significant. After the death of Maria Federovna, the pavilion began to play a leading role in the development of Russian culture. I. Krylov, V. Zhukovsky, N. Karamzin read their literary creations here, and talented aspiring musicians held themed evenings here. D. Bortnyansky was a regular guest at the events, and M. Glinka was also met here.

Modern times

Unfortunately, the brutal war years destroyed everything in their path. Likewise, the Pink Pavilion was destroyed during the war. Only in the 70s. A.I. Zelenova collected all the necessary historical documents to begin restoration work. Now the pavilion has been restored and reopened for lovers of beauty.

Having not only artistic, but also historical value. The simple building, topped with a dome, was built by the chief architect of Pavlovsk, Andrei Voronikhin, in 1807.

As Maria Feodorovna dreamed, the Pink Pavilion became the kingdom of the rose, the favorite flower of the owner of the park. The Queen of Flowers was depicted on the furniture upholstery and services, rosalia were arranged around the building, and on the pediment there was a gilded inscription in French “Pavillon des roses”.

In this house, Maria Feodorovna organized real art festivals, artists, writers and musicians gathered here, all educated people who were not indifferent to art could come here.

In July 1814, the Pavilion of Roses became the site of a solemn meeting for Emperor Alexander I and his guards who returned from Paris. For the upcoming celebration, architect Carl Rossi added a Dance Hall to the building, a fishing pier was also built, and master decorator Pietro Gonzago created bright decorations depicting the Russian village of that time. Copper statues of Hercules sitting on a horse and Apollo of Herculaneus were installed nearby.

At the festival, hymns of praise were sung by choirs, and the celebration ended with the firing of cannons and fireworks.
