A bit of history
In the 17th century the territory of modern Strelna was a part of the Swedish lands, in the 30s the place was chosen by the Swedish aristocrat Johann Schütte Strall to Hoff, he is considered the founder of the city. He built a magnificent manor house, smashed around the park with a pond and a greenhouse, built on his orders as a small chapel and a water mill.
Later the city attracted the attention of Emperor Peter I, he first ordered to build here a few huts in which he could to dwell on arrival and later, following his ambition, began the construction of a luxurious grand country residence, which was to overshadow the glory of the Palace of Versailles.
But as soon as the large-scale construction was started, the Emperor was informed that moorland in Peterhof area is more suitable for the construction of high fountains, so all the attention has been shifted to a new object . Only four decades later, Strelna found a new owner - the son of Paul I, Constantine, who continued the work of Peter . He built here a magnificent palace with a park complex, connecting it with another, the Travel Palace . It's more modest, but, all However, no less exquisite wooden building with a portico of six columns and a mezzanine, decorated with carved arches arched windows .

Konstantinovsky Palace and The Palace was built in 1720 and completed only in the late 18th century, it was named Konstantinovsky (ironically, it lived princes as one by the name of Constantine) and even had his coat of arms and motto: "Right and right," the authorship of Prince Konstantin Nikolaevich.
During its existence, the estate has undergone several reconstructions, first in the 18th century, then after a fire at the beginning 19 century, and after the German occupation during the Second World War . According to unconfirmed data (they are being studied now), during one of the restorations, removing the wooden flooring of the Track Palace, the builders discovered an unusual sarcophagus in which, besides family coat-of-arms and seals was in the form of zabalzam The body, most likely, was one of the founders of Strelna, or rather Strellingof (that was the name of the city in the 17th century) .
It's hard to imagine, but in a manor belonging to the royal family, where grandiose receptions and luxurious balls were staged, in the post-revolutionary period the correctional colony-boarding school, a sanatorium for the mentally ill and even the corps of the seaworthy school were located. And only in the middle of the last century was recognized the true cultural and historical value of this palace and park complex
And after UNESCO took the estate in Strelna to the monuments of the world cultural heritage that are on the verge of destruction, large-scale reconstruction began in Strelna . As a result, the Travel Palace acquired its original appearance and was opened to guests at the end of the last century, and Konstantinovsky underwent more serious reconstruction and was given a special status . He was renamed "House of Congresses s ", and from 2003 held here, official and ceremonial events at the highest level, in particular in 2006, it was here that a summit" Big Eight ".
Excursions Strelny
The Palace is open and for visitors, however, you can get to it only with an excursion (it is necessary to make an appointment only on the day of its holding). Here you can see luxurious and unlike each other grand palace halls, billiard rooms, refectory and even palace kitchens, apartments in which the head of state meets his guests or the boudoir of the first lady, as well as the royal cellars, where the tourists are offered a tasting of aged wines, the collections of which were collected back in the days of the empire.
Then follows the tour around the palace complex with a walk in the park, visit the "Pavilion of negotiations" and cozy guest houses "Consular Village". In the summer, you can also walk around the gardens adjacent to the palace, where the potato was first cultivated in the Russian Empire.
In this case, it is worth remembering that during this tour you need to strictly adhere to certain rules of conduct, and photography is possible only for a very impressive additional fee. The excursion itself will cost about 250 rubles per person. But, believe me, you will not be disappointed to see this grandiose structure with a generously decorated façade, a royal luxurious interior decoration and an incredible park size, where once Peter I was in the shade of a huge linden he loved to rest from important state affairs.
