Add a review about the Venus Pavilion

On the Island of Love in Gatchina is located one of the main decorations of a small piece of land. The Venus Pavilion appeared in the Gatchina Palace Park under Paul I. The Emperor saw the construction of the same name on a trip to France. The project of a small building of gray-green color was developed in 1791, and the construction of the pavilion was completed two years later

The Venus Pavilion, built at the very edge of the water, has several names - the Temple of Love, Trelyazh.

The facade of the unique pavilion , named for the glory of the goddess of love, decorated with a four-columned portico, the completion of which was a triangular pediment. A ribbon parapet with a net stretches along the perimeter of Tretyol in Gatchina, relief medallions are placed between the arches of the building lined with shroud.

The Temple of Love in Gatchina is completely made of wood, including pile foundation, basement and foundation made of wicker plate, pudost stone. The choice of such materials allowed the pavilion to survive during the war, although the structure was seriously damaged.

Inside the pavilion you can see only two rooms - the Great Hall and the lobby. In the first one, the door windows are facing the White Lake, to which an artificial origin is attributed. The natural light is enhanced by the mirrors installed in the corners. Today you can make a tour of the restored Venus Pavilion, for visits it was opened in 2010.
