Oranienbaum Palace in Lomonosov

Красивый и величественный собор! Есть возможность подняться на колокольню и позвонить в колокол!...(Translated by Google)Beautiful and majestic cathedral! It is possible to climb the bell tower and ring the bell!...

Приехали в будний день в январе 2022 года. Народа практически нет, экскурсию проводили для нас двоих. Приятно))Взяли не полную экскурсию, а только по парадным залам (350р билет).Экскурсовод очень интересно рассказывала.Со времен Меньшикова ничего не осталось, так как дворец часто передаривали и новый хозяин переделывал дворец под себя. Тем не менее, все красиво и богато.Красоту парка не смогли оценить, так как зима.(Translated by Google)We arrived on a weekday in January 2022. There are practically no people, the tour was carried out for the two of us. Pleasantly))We did not take a full tour, but only through the front halls (350r ticket).The tour guide was very interesting.From the time of Menshikov, nothing remained, since the palace was often re-gifted and the new owner remade the palace for himself. However, everything is beautiful and rich.The beauty of the park could not be appreciated because it is winter.

Из всего большого дворца для осмотра доступна только небольшая часть. Интересно и познавательно, но нам показалось маловато. Неприятно удивило отсутствие цивилизованных стоянок для транспорта и проход к дворцу через сугробы.(Translated by Google)Of the entire large palace, only a small part is available for inspection. Interesting and informative, but it seemed to us not enough. I was unpleasantly surprised by the absence of civilized parking lots for transport and the passage to the palace through snowdrifts.

Были впервые. Сразу скажу, что поздняя осень не время для первого посещения Ораниенбаума. Серо, уныло, вокруг реконструкции и все перекопано. Но очень красиво! Сад, верхний и нижний, дворец, великолепие! Стоит посетить летом еще разок)(Translated by Google)Were there for the first time. I must say right away that late autumn is not the time to visit Oranienbaum for the first time. It is gray, sad, around the reconstruction and everything has been dug up. But very pretty! Garden, top and bottom, palace, splendor! Worth visiting in summer one more time)

С огромным удовольствием открыли для себя ещё одну жемчужину из ожерелья пригородных парков царствующих особ и приближены к ним. Хоть парк ещё не полностью открыт для посетителей но и то что уже сделано впечатляет!!! Приезжайте не пожалеете!(Translated by Google)It was with great pleasure that they discovered another pearl from the necklace of the suburban parks of royalty and approached them. Although the park is not fully open to visitors yet, what has already been done is impressive !!! Come and dont regret it!

Чудесное место. Дворец просто волшебный. Экскурсия проходит с передатчиком и наушником, если задержаться в зале, то все равно слышно , что рассказывает экскурсовод. На территории парка есть автомат с горячими напитками и перекусом.(Translated by Google)Wonderful place. The palace is just magical. The tour takes place with a transmitter and a headset, if you linger in the hall, you can still hear what the guide is saying. The park has a vending machine with hot drinks and snacks.

Красивый парк, приятная атмосфера, свежий воздух, тихо, спокойно. Все как я люблю.(Translated by Google)Beautiful park, pleasant atmosphere, fresh air, quiet, calm. Everything I love.

Красивый дворец.идти стоит с экскурсией. Очень интересно рассказывают. Парк красивый(Translated by Google)A beautiful palace. It is worth going with a guided tour. The story is very interesting. The park is beautiful

Absolute delight, especially from Lower Park.

После прогулок по парку и посещения дворца Петра lll, очень устали. Поэтому пошли в Большой Меньшиковский дворец без экскурсии. Прошли позалам, их не так много. Красиво и богато!!! После Эрмитажа, так себе... Но сходить надо, желательно с экскурсией.(Translated by Google)After walking in the park and visiting the Peters palace lll, very tired. Therefore, we went to the Big Menshikov Palace without a tour. Gone pozamas, there are not so many of them. Nice and rich !!! After the Hermitage, so-so ... But you have to go, preferably with a guided tour.

Очень чисто. Красиво.Видели белок и даже серую цаплю.Вход в музеи по времени и по отдельным билетам.Меньшиковский в 12.00 и в 15.00Парковки нет как таковой.По правам или паспорту вход 100р. Дети безплатно.В целом понравилось(Translated by Google)Very clean. Handsomely.We saw squirrels and even a gray heron.Entrance to museums by time and by separate tickets.Menshikovsky at 12.00 and 15.00There is no parking as such.By rights or passport entrance 100r. Children free.Generally liked

Лишенное излишней помпезности приятное место для прогулки. Можно посетить Большой Меншиковский и Китайский дворцы. А вот павильон Катальная горка уже много лет находится на реставрации и закрыт для посещения. С парковкой большая проблема. Ее просто нет. Вдоль дороги через каждые несколько метров висит знак "Остановка запрещена", тупиковые съезды к домам забиты машинами. Мы припарковались метров за 600-700 от входа в парк и вынуждены были с коляской идти по обочине шоссе - тратуара тоже нет. При выходе из парка вас ожидает сюрприз: необходимо вновь предъявить билеты, хотя никто не предупреждает, что их надо сохранить и многие посетители их выбрасывают.(Translated by Google)A pleasant place to walk, devoid of excessive pomp. You can visit the Great Menshikov Palace and the Chinese Palace. But the pavilion Roller Coaster has been under restoration for many years and is closed to the public. Parking is a big problem. It simply does not exist. Along the road every few meters there is a sign "No Stopping", dead-end ramps to houses are packed with cars. We parked 600-700 meters from the entrance to the park and had to walk along the side of the highway with a stroller - there was no sidewalk either. When you leave the park, a surprise awaits you: you need to present your tickets again, although no one warns that they need to be kept and many visitors throw them away.

В самом парке идут работы по чистке прудов. Сделано много, но ещё работы предостаточно. Дорожки частично выложены бетонными плитами для движения тяжёлой техники, тракторов, бульдозеров...Зелено, много вековых деревьев. Тенистые аллеи. В пруду по дороге к Китайскому дворцу огромные караси. Бросали хлеб в воду, они прямо из воды выпрыгивали.Во дворцы не ходили, были с четырёх летним ребёнком.Очень мало парковочных мест. Лучше приезжать раньше.(Translated by Google)In the park itself, work is underway to clean the ponds. A lot has been done, but there is still plenty of work to be done. The paths are partially lined with concrete slabs for the movement of heavy equipment, tractors, bulldozers...Green, many ancient trees. Shady alleys. There are huge crucians in the pond on the way to the Chinese Palace. They threw bread into the water, they jumped right out of the water.They didn’t go to palaces, they were with a four-year-old child.Very few parking spaces. Its better to arrive earlier.

Wonderful

Фасад дворца на реставрации, остальные павильоны также на реставрации, пруды спущены и идёт их очистка. Посещать Ориенбаум пока нет смысла. Возможно года через 2 парк и усадьба смогут порадовать посетителей(Translated by Google)The facade of the palace is under restoration, the rest of the pavilions are also under restoration, the ponds have been lowered and are being cleaned. There is no point in visiting Orienbaum yet. Perhaps in 2 years the park and the estate will be able to please visitors

Мне очень понравилось в Ораниенбауме. Хотя дворец сейчас ещё не весь открыт - то, что открыто поражает! Очень красивые цветы около дворца, прекрасные открытые залы.(Translated by Google)I really liked it in Oranienbaum. Although the palace is not yet fully open - what is openly striking! Very beautiful flowers around the palace, wonderful open rooms.

Большой дворец, но для посещения открыто только несколько комнат на 2 этаже, и ещё меньше на 1. Экскурсию, входящую в стоимость билета 300 руб, не дождались, т.к.не собралась группа 20 человек. Предложили индивидуальную экскурсию за 1000 руб. Отказались. Ожидания не оправдались полное разочарование. К посещению не рекомендую.(Translated by Google)A large palace, but only a few rooms on the 2nd floor are open for visiting, and even fewer on the 1st. Offered an individual tour for 1000 rubles. Refused. Expectations were not met complete disappointment. I do not recommend visiting.

Очень красиво. Дворец маленький, но историй вмещает много, если слушать экскурсовода. Отличная музейная организация, строгие, но доброжелательные смотрители. В парке чистота и красота!(Translated by Google)Very beautiful. The palace is small, but it holds a lot of stories, if you listen to the guide. Excellent museum organization, strict but friendly caretakers. The park is clean and beautiful!

Посетить дворец стоит однозначно, красивые, уютные залы, ухоженная территория, большой парк, людей немного. Единственное,что не понравилось пускают во дворец только с экскурсией, но экскурсовод настолько скучно ее проводит, что хотелось уйти с самого начала(например в начале экскурсии она собрала всех в небольшом зале, нам выдали гарнитуры для усиления звука (сейчас такие во всех музеяхи минут 10 держала нас в этом крошечном зале рассказывая что-то совершенно не интересное, монотонным голосом, постоянно вздыхая, и так было в каждом зале. Осмотр проводится по небольшому количеству комнат, их можно осмотреть максимум за полчаса, но экскурсовод растягивает на час. Необходимо либо уменьшить количество текста, либо рассказывать его в движении и более эмоционально, чтобы не портить впечатление от красоты дворца.(Translated by Google)A visit to the palace is definitely worth it, beautiful, cozy halls, well-groomed territory, a large park, few people. The only thing that I didnt like was allowed into the palace only with a guided tour, but the guide was taking it so boringly that I wanted to leave from the very beginning (for example, at the beginning of the tour, she gathered everyone in a small hall, we were given headsets to amplify the sound (now such in all museumsand for about 10 minutes she kept us in this tiny room telling something completely uninteresting, in a monotonous voice, constantly sighing, and it was like that in every room.Inspection is carried out in a small number of rooms, they can be examined in a maximum of half an hour, but the guide stretches out for an hour. It is necessary either to reduce the amount of text, or to tell it in motion and more emotionally, so as not to spoil the impression of the beauty of the palace.

Really friendly staff and so interesting story ☺️

Good

A gorgeous palace with intense meaning for my family as many of my ancestors were Volga Germans who first came to Russia from Western and Southwest Germany via Saint Petersburg, arriving first at the gates of the Oranienbaum, some possibly greeted by Catherine The Great herself from her balcony, many of the Germans having been invited to Russia while she was Empress. The gardens are stunning and we only bought tickets for these outer courtyards but it was moving to stand where my immigrant ancestral grandparents likely also stood as they entered Russia en route to a new life on the Volga.

We visit it at start of January about 3pm it was really wet and grey and didnt look very nice how you can expect from pictures.When it gets darker outside,everything start to look better and more alive.I didnt been inside at any of these buildings so can make my opinion only about view from street side and inside of park.As any of these ancient buildings its still nice to see at least once so not a big deal to go 29 kilometers from city to have a look at it and take some good pictures.I bet is absolutely different view at summer or even spring but I doubt what I gonna come back to see it again.Wish you good luck and best impressions

The visit to the palace interior was rather short and not specially interesting... not to mention the price if your are not russian. The exposition through the ages was much better with nice audio visuals

So beautiful and recommended place to go

Nice place, but nothing special there.

Beautiful place to stroll around.

Great place

...perfect

Absolutely beautiful. Free for parents with infants too

Cool place

Perfect place for evening walk. Free entrance after 6 pm. Almost no people. Highly recommended for visiting

Beautiful grounds!

Worth the visit, but takes a long time to do it properly.

Nice castle near the most known Petergof. It was built by the Peter the Greats right hand. The castle is still on ongoing restoration, so many rooms are still closed to the public. Lately they opened the church, worth for a visit,. The 1st part is made of audiovisual contents about the history of the aeea and why Menshikov became so important and powerful. In the 2nd part you visit the central building where there are beautiful restored private rooms. This part is described by a tourguide, available in russian and english. There is also the pissibility to take an audioguide.

Атлична. Muhteşem. This a good place.

Great relaxing place to be out in nature, surprisingly low crowds for being the beginning of tourist season. Bring a cooler, lots of places to picnic and gave some beer/wine at.

It a very beautiful building with plenty of space to walk in the garden, however what is weird is the amount of guards taking care that nobody steps on the grass, they literally shout at people who steps on the grass. Otherwise it is such a great place to visit and avoid crowds, while still being amazed with the scale of beauty and the level of life they used to live.

Interesting place to visit. We were there in winter. We had lots of snow and the palace was at restavration. Definitely want to go there in summer. Although we were in winter and it was cold, there were people working in the palace, guards and stuff who were very kind and answering every question in details. They even tried to explain us a bit about the palace, how it is in summer etc. If you are for more days in spb, or simply live here, you should visit the place. The road is worthed :however if you are short with time, i guess it is better to see the places and palaces that sre more famous

Very beautiful monument.

Small, very friendly staff and unfortunately under heavy construction at the time of visiting

Good to visit

Cool

Good

This is the only Imperial residence near Saint Petersburg that was remained undestroyed during World War II (The Great Patriotic War). Most of the palaces there were designed and built by Antonio Rinaldi, architect exceptionale from Italy, one of those who created Saint Petersburg outlook. A true pearl in Oranienbaum is Chinese Palace and its Glass Beaded Salon and parquet floors.I bet you wont regret spending an hour on bus from Saint Petersburg to visit this wonderful place!

Nice park not far from Petergof

Great😍

The place is amazing, like any other imperial residence around St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, during reconstruction Oranienbaum got lower priority than Peterhof and Tsarskoye Selo, and this impacts its current accessibility. You need to find some parking space nearby, the guides are only in Russian, and in general its less organized than the other palaces. Nevertheless, its absolutely worth seeing, in particular the Chinese House (it will be closed during rain!)

Beautiful big park, although currently (July 2016half of it is unavailable due to reconstruction. Lots of alleys to walk, benches to sit, ponds, flowers, palaces. At the moment free admission (also cause of reconstruction).
