🌳 Tsaritsyno Ponds

A cascade of large ponds around the estate with a dam, bridges and views of the palace ensemble.

The ponds are a cascade on the Gorodnya stream, partly existing even before the estate became the tsar's.
The Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve with its park and ponds was created in 1984.
Vasily Bazhenov built the Figured Bridge in 1776–1778, and the Large Bridge over the ravine in 1778–1784.
On the pond is the light-and-music singing fountain, which appeared during the 2007 reconstruction.
18th-century pavilions survive in the park: Milovida and the Temple of Ceres.
