Description
The Mikhailovsky Castle was constructed in 1797-1801 by order of Paul I.
The Mikhailovsky Castle was designed by architects Vincenzo Brenna and Vasily Bajenov. The castle looks different from each side, as the architects used the motifs of various architectural styles - French Classicism, Italian Renaissance and even Gothic.
Emperor Paul I spent only 40 nights in the castle. On the night of the 12th of March 1801 he was murdered in his own bedroom by a group of officers. The plot was inspired by Paul's son Alexander.
