Alexandria park and cottage

Alexandria is a romantic landscape park stretching along the Gulf of Finland, east from the vast Peterhof Lower park.
"Alexandria" park is called after Empress Alexandra, wife of  Nickolas I Romanov. Its grounds and a cozy English gothic cottage were specially designed for Empress Alexandra to spend her summer days away from St.Petersburg. Presented as a gift, it in fact became a summer residence of Nickolas' family. Alexandria cottage still keeps the memory of its royal owners: old gothic furniture, guestbooks, porcelain sets, books, photographs ... Gothic interiors create somewhat mysterious atmosphere and evoke the feeling of respect to its noble owners.
The park nature is as charming and harmonious as the cottage architecture. Long pine trees, vast lawns and hills, the Gulf view, exotic flowers and plants on the intricately designed flowerbeds. Stroll down the alley and you will see the graceful Gothic Capella rising above the pine and oak tree tops. Its image is also full of mystery and enigma.
