      • The park's history began on 12 December 1777, when Catherine II gave her son Paul lands on the banks of the Slavyanka.
      • The park covers about 600 ha and is divided into seven districts, from the Slavyanka Valley to the White Birch.
      • The Temple of Friendship (1780–1782, Cameron) was conceived by the grand-ducal couple as a gift in return to Catherine II for the Pavlovsk lands.
      • The Apollo Colonnade was built in 1782–1783; in 1817 part of it collapsed in a thunderstorm, and it was decided not to restore the ruin.
      • The 250-ha White Birch woodland was created in 1801–1828 by the decorative artist Pietro Gonzaga.
      • The Pil Tower of 1797 was deliberately made to look like a ramshackle village house with a thatched roof.
