🌳 Alexandria Park

Петергоф

A quiet landscape park without crowds

The park is named after Alexandra Feodorovna: Nicholas I gave her this estate, and from 1830 to 1917 it was the emperors' summer residence.
Even earlier, Menshikov began building a palace here, "Moncourage" ("My Courage"), but never finished it.
From 1733, under Anna Ioannovna, there was a hunting park here, the Jagd-Garten, with deer, boars, buffalo and even tigers.
The landscape park was created over twenty years by the master gardener Peter Erler; in 1970 his grave was moved to Alexandria.
At the Lower Dacha, Nicholas II signed the manifesto bringing Russia into the First World War; the dacha was demolished in the early 1960s.
