Does anyone have any pictures or plans for the English Palace?

When strolling the Peterhof parks, beware of predators!

This lucky otter was photographed on 14 June a few meters off the Monplaisir pavillion.

Hi Mike!

The photo is amazing so you must be quite quick with the camera.
Even if it looks lovely in the picture i think i shall be careful not to meet this kind of inhabitants of the Peterhof Park.
The first time i saw an otter "in person" i mistook it for an enormous rat, so i run away screaming, totally disgracing myself before my amused friends...
Thanks for posting the photo

Antonio.

Can anyone give me information (where it is/was, story, pics, plans, etc.etc) about the palace  of the Queen of Wurttemberg, ? I know it was in Peterhof, but I don't know where it was exactly.

Thanks

It is not a palace. It is a pavilion (3 rooms – 1st floor, 1 room – 2nd floor, 1 room 3d floor and open place – 4th floor).
Olgin pavilion was built in 1846 by A.Stakenshneyder on a small island in the center of Peterhof. Today it is a museum.

Many thanks for the pics!

Anyway I read somewhere Olga had an entire wing built for her, maybe near the Great Palace. Am I completely wrong?

She and her husband had a suite in the Great Peterhof Palace (Olgina polovina = Olga`s Apartment). Today it is a big room in modern style (1950th) - Concert Hall.

In the caption of the Hermitage website, there is written "The Rose Pavilion in the Lugovoi (Meadow) Park in Peterhof".

Is Lugovoi=meadow?

Is this Ozerky-Lugovoi-Meadow park near the Olgin pond?

Thanks for this info!

I think I know which room you're referring to. I think it is a pity those rooms were not reconstructed.
