On the way from the St. Petersburg area to Moscow, people would stop at this palace either over night or to refresh themselves in preparation for their grand entrance in Moscow or the Kremlin. In fact I think this palace is largest referred to as the 'stop over palace'.

ArchitectCS:
Does anyone have any photos of the interior?  This palace was briefly discussed on the AP restoration thread, and until recently it had all its original furniture.  I'd love to know more if anyone has any info.

Here is the wikipedia page for the Petrovski's architect:
