It was the residence of five generations of the elite aristocratic dynasty of the Yusupov Princes, from 1830 to 1917. The Palace is also the site of the murder of Grigory Rasputin. Today Yusupov Palace is one of the few aristocratic mansions of St. Petersburg with preserved ceremonial apartments, art gallery halls, a mini-theater and the luxurious private rooms of the Yusupov family.

Visit the architectural and landscape complex of the unique Oranienbaum Palace and Park of the 18th to the early 20th century, preserved during World War II in its historical authenticity. The Great Menshikov Palace is the oldest building of Oranienbaum. The impressive appearance of the palace, its grand scale and lavish interiors, always generate a lot of admiration and surprise. The estate offers a lot of wonders. For example, in the center of the eastern gallery there was once a "Turkish bath" (with a glass roof) which was many times honored by Peter the Great himself! The halls and living rooms are decorated with paintings on plaster and canvas, tapestries, and marble. The window frames were even gilded, and the walls of many rooms were finished with Dutch and German tiles. Tour length - 6.5 hours.
