Gatchina Essentials

Gatchina is defined by the Great Gatchina Palace, an 18th-century imperial residence, and the unique earth-walled Priory Palace built for the Order of Malta. The surrounding Palace Park features the man-made White Lake, the Pavilion of Venus on the Island of Love, and the ornamental Humpback Bridge. Nearby, the Prioratsky Park offers a natural landscape centered around Black Lake. This collection includes architectural landmarks like the Eagle Column and the Shcherbov Estate Museum, a notable example of Northern Art Nouveau.
