      🏛 Kikin Hall

      Ставропольская ул., 9

      One of the oldest buildings in the city (1714): the chambers of the boyar Kikin, executed in the case of Tsarevich Alexei; under Peter they housed the first library and the Kunstkamera. Now a music school — view from the outside.

      • The layout and dimensions of the chambers match the central part of the Grand Peterhof Palace; the architect is thought to be Andreas Schlüter.
      • In 1719–1727 the Kunstkamera collections and Peter the Great's personal library were kept here.
      • From 1733 the building held an infirmary and the chancellery of the Horse Regiment; Rastrelli put a wooden bell tower over the house church.
      • The chambers were badly damaged in the Siege; in 1952–1956 they were restored to their 1719–1720 appearance to a design by Irina Benois.
      • Today a music lyceum works in the building.
