Bobrinsky's Palace consists of
two old buildings which were
designed by the architect Luigi
Rusca and constructed in the
1790s. The two mansions were
reconstructed and united in the
first quarter of the 19 th
century by the architect Andrei
Mikhailov Jr. This architect
enlarged the Count's mansion and
transformed it into a small
palace with a suite of
luxuriously decorated rooms. The
design of the palace is very
characteristic of the Russian
mansions of the late 18 th
century. There is a courtyard in
front of the palace. The
courtyard is bordered by service
buildings, and the entrance to
the courtyard is marked by a
monumental gate decorated with
statues.
At present, the building of
Bobrinsky's Palace belongs to the
State University of
St. Petersburg.
