      • The palace was built for Prince Menshikov in 1710–1725; in scale the residence then surpassed Peterhof.
      • The palace church was consecrated on 3 September 1727, and five days later Menshikov was arrested and all his property confiscated.
      • From 1743 Oranienbaum was the residence of Grand Duke Pyotr Fyodorovich, the future Peter III.
      • The sea canal that linked the palace with the Gulf of Finland survives to this day.
      • Unlike the other suburbs, Oranienbaum was not ravaged in the war, but the palace was handed over to the museum only in 1995.
