Postcard from Germany
Schloss Köpenick is a Baroque water palace of the Hohenzollern electors of Brandenburg which stands on an island in the Dahme River surrounded by an English-style park and gives its name to Köpenick, a district of Berlin.
Postcard from Russia
Summer Palace of Peter the Great in St. Petersburg, Russia. This historic building is located in the Summer Garden, a popular park in the city. The palace was designed by the Italian architect Domenico Trezzini and built between 1710 and 1714. It served as the summer residence for Peter I, the first Russian Emperor. The modest architecture reflects Tsar Peter’s Spartan tastes, with none of the usual luxury associated with royal palaces. Today the building functions as a museum and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of “Saint Petersburg and related groups of monuments.”
Postcard from Russia
The Pavlovsk Park is the park surrounding the Pavlovsk Palace, an 18th-century Russian Imperial residence built by Tsar Paul I of Russia near Saint Petersburg. After his death, it became the home of his widow, Maria Feodorovna. It is now a state museum and a public park.
