Great Imperial Stables

It looks like the Hampton palace in the UK

Nice quiet place, beautiful gothic architecture.

On the site that the complex now occupies, a stable yard has been located since 1723. In 1846, the architect N.L. Benois received an imperial order for the construction of a new Stables yard. Demolition of old buildings (a total of 8 buildings made of wood and cobblestones) began in 1847. New stables were built from 1848 to 1855. A total of 328 horses were housed in the stables. The complex included an arena, an equestrian department, residential buildings for employees, a smithy, a veterinary clinic, a coach house, hayloft, and forage pantries. After the October Revolution, the stables complex was transferred to the Petrodvorets sanatorium (dormitories, a dining room, a hydropathic establishment, and treatment rooms were located). After the bankruptcy of the sanatorium, it is not used. It is planned to place an equestrian club, for which a partial overlap of the inner courtyards with glass roofs is planned.

Complete Gothic. Very beautiful! A part is now under restoration. They are not allowed inside yet, but it is worth getting around, as it is strange and expected to see this here :)

This piece of architecture is worth seeing !!! It is a pity that they are not allowed inside (((
