      • It is the earliest surviving building in Strelna — a wooden palace for Peter I's stops on the way to Kronstadt.
      • Peter dreamed of a "Northern Versailles" in Strelna, but water would not flow by gravity to the fountains here, so the residence was moved to Peterhof.
      • Nearby, a secret galley dock 425 m long and 200 m wide was dug.
      • In 1722 Peter gave the palace to his daughter Elizabeth, and in 1749–1750 Rastrelli put a stone foundation under it.
      • After the revolution the palace housed a maternity hospital, and it was only finally handed to Peterhof in 1987.
