      • The name means “my pleasure” in French.
      • The palace was founded on 17 May 1714 right at the water's edge; Peter I chose the site and layout himself, and the design was by Braunstein.
      • Peter often stayed here and received foreign ambassadors; he last came in October 1724.
      • The floors of the 22-metre galleries are laid the Dutch way, as a chessboard of white and black marble.
      • The palace keeps Peter I's personal belongings and a collection of Chinese porcelain and Dutch faience.
      • The interiors ravaged in the war were recreated from 1951 to 1978.
