Located in Russia.
Tsaritsyno is a palace and park ensemble in the south of Moscow; founded at the behest of Empress Catherine II in 1776. It is managed by the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve, founded in 1984.
This is the historically established, most famous and landscaped part of the Tsaritsyno Protected Natural Area, located between the Moscow districts of Tsaritsyno, Biryulyovo East, Orekhovo-Borisovo South and Orekhovo-Borisovo North.
Tsaritsynsky palace and park ensemble, which covers an area of more than 100 hectares, is located on a hilly area crossed by ravines, on the site of the former estate of princes Kantemirov and inherited some of its features. The territory of the ensemble and park is bounded from the north-east and south by two deep ravines, from the west by Tsaritsyn ponds, and from the east by a complex of greenhouses.
Tsaritsyno is a monument to the so-called “Russian Gothic” (pseudo-gothic); Over the course of 20 years, two of the most famous architects of their era, Vasily Bazhenov and Matvey Kazakov, worked on the creation of the imperial residence. Tsaritsyno is the largest in Europe pseudo-gothic building of the XVIII century and the only palace complex developed in this style. The features of the palace and park ensemble largely determined a new direction in Russian architecture: there are many buildings of the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries in different parts of the former Russian Empire, which were created under the influence of Tsaritsyn.
Tsaritsynsky landscape park, founded along with the palace complex, became one of the first landscape parks in Russia outside St. Petersburg palace and park ensembles.
