Closed for restoration in November 2020.

A very beautiful place, but now restoration work is going on there.

A big whim was built in 1772-1774 by the project of architect Neelov, the construction was supervised by engineer Ivan Kondratievich Gerard. The source of the design of this bridge was a 17th century engraving depicting a similar structure in China. An artificially formed mound of land, freed from digging up neighboring ponds, is topped with a Chinese-style pergola and has a large travel arch.
