      🌳 Lopukhinsky Garden

      Каменноостровский пр. / ул. Академика Павлова, у Малой Невки

      A quiet landscape garden on the bank of the Malaya Nevka: ponds with little bridges, grottoes and the wooden dacha of the merchant Gromov, one of the oldest in the city.

      • The garden is named after Prince Pyotr Lopukhin, father of Paul I's favourite Anna — he owned the plot in the early 19th century.
      • In 1848 the patron Vasily Gromov bought the plot: his wooden dacha had a picture gallery, and penniless Conservatory students lived here for free.
      • Under Gromov, grottoes, fountains, gazebos and bridges over the ponds were built in the garden.
      • For several years residents fought off an apart-hotel development of the garden — in 2013 the plot was returned to the monument's boundaries.
      • Gromov's dacha was restored in 2016–2020, and marble sculptures were found in the cellar.
