Oranienbaum is a royal residence, located on the Gulf of Finland west of St. Petersburg. The Palace ensemble and the city centre are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. • In 1707, four years after Peter the Great founded Saint Petersburg, he gave the grounds near the seaside to his right-hand man, Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov. • Menshikov commissioned the architects Giovanni Maria Fontana and Gottfried Schädel, who built his residence, the Grand Menshikov Palace from 1710 to 1727 (not to be confused with Menshikov Palace in Saint Petersburg, built by the same architects around the same time). Menshikov was deposed shortly after Peter's death, and died in exile, and the palace passed out of his family. In 1743, Oranienbaum became the summer residence of Grand Duke Pyotr Fyodorovich, the heir of Empress Elizabeth (the future Emperor Peter III). From 1756 to 1762, the architect Antonio Rinaldi built the Peterstadt Fortress ensemble on the bank of the Karost River for Grand Duke Peter Fedorovitch. • From the outside, the palace is a relatively simple building, single-storey except for the small central pavilion, painted in a mellow combination of ochre and yellow. The Upper Park was laid out from 1750 to 1770. • The palace was the site of two opera premieres to libretti by Metastasio in the middle of the eighteenth century, Amor prigioniero (one act, composed by Francesco Araia, 1755), and Semiramide riconosciuta (three acts, composed by Vincenzo Manfredini, 1760). • In the 19th century, Oranienbaum became a noble manor. During World War II, Oranienbaum suffered to a much lesser extent than other suburbs of St. Petersburg, since defense was deployed here on the so-called “Oranienbaum Bridgehead”. However, the ensemble became desolate in the post-war period, and its serious restoration began only in the late 1990s. Restoration Of Oranienbaum has been a slow process. • Oranienbaum was granted town status in 1710, and was initially applied to the Oranienbaum palace complex, built between 1710 and 1725 opposite Kronstadt, in the neighbourhood of the royal residence Peterhof Palace, by the architects Giovanni Mario Fontana and Gottfried Johann Schadel, and was intended for Alexander Menshikov, a close associate of Peter the Great. The original name of the town translates to orange tree in German (in modern German, the word is Orangenbaum), and is believed to have been derived from the palace complex which had greenhouses to grow exotic plants such as orange trees. According to another version, the name means “Tree of Orange” in honour of William III of Orange, stadtholder of the Netherlands and king of England, who was the idol of Peter the Great, or it was borrowed from the toponymy of Germany (the city of Oranienbaum in the Principality of Anhalt named by Princess Henrietta Katharina Nassau-Oransky after her home place) simply as a “beautiful” name in the fashion spirit of the Petrine era. • During World War II the town was heavily involved in the Siege of Leningrad, where Red Army forces managed to establish a foothold at Oranienbaum, in the rear of the forces of Nazi Germany. This foothold had a major importance in the launching of the Leningrad–Novgorod Offensive in early 1944, which finally ended the siege (see Leningrad–Novgorod Offensive). In 1948, the town was renamed to its current name Lomonosov, in honor of the scientist, poet and glassblower Mikhail Lomonosov. In 1754, Lomonosov had founded a colored-glass factory near Oranienbaum, in the village of Ust-Ruditsa. An unofficial nickname, Rambov, a Russified contraction of the old name Oranienbaum, is popular among the local residents. • #thingstodo #spbdaytrip #historicalspb #petersburgdaytrip #historicalpetersburg #travelgram #petersburgholiday #hiddenjewels #eurotrip #travelinspiration #bucketlistadventures #exploretheworld #offthebeatentrack #classicarchitecture #travelphotography #mustvisitplaces #europe #europetravel #europetourism #traveldestinations #eurotravel #eurotrip #relaxationfilm #RelaxingSounds #HDvideo #HDfilm #peacefulsounds #calmness #tranquillity #peace #quiet #aura #calm #care #Prowalk #Amateurwalk #miniwalk #WalkingTour #treadmillwalk #citywalks #walk #walker #walkingcontent #walkingspb #walkingpetersburg #walkingpiter #walkingsaintpetersburg #shortwalk #HistoricalLandmarks #Empire #Architecture #TouristAttractions #Heritage #HistoricSites #travelvlog #travelguide #spbvlog #spbguide #petersburgvlog #petersburgguide #saintpetersburvlog #saintpetersburguide #pitervlog #piterguide #explained #citytour #citylife #bestthingstodo #topdestinations #romantic #charm #loveliness #glamor #allure #luxurylife #lifestyle #ASMRtist #ASMRWalk #ASMRvideo #saintASMRpetersburg #ASMRCity #ASMRNature #ASMRsound #ASMRlife #Soundscape #Ambience #WalkTour #WalkingTour #UNESCO #GoPro #GoProHero12Black #Hero12Black #GoPro12 #TakenwithGoPro #ShotwithGoPro #4KFilm #4KVideo #4K #4KGoPro #4KGoProHero12Black #4KHero12Black #4knature #Nature
