Understand
The Pavlovsk palace is probably the best preserved of Russian imperial residences outside the capital. The neoclassical interior of the palace was faithfully restored after a fire in 1803. The damage sustained by the palace during the German occupation in 1941–43, though considerable, was not as devastating as Peterhof and Tsarskoye Selo.
