The magnificent and incredibly majestic Yusupov Palace, which is located in St. Petersburg, is a unique architectural ensemble dating back to the 18th and 20th centuries. It is also a cultural monument, a history of federal significance, which earned the glory of the "great encyclopedia" of the aristocratic Petersburg interior.
History of construction
Biography of the Yusupov Palace in the glorious city of St. Petersburg dates back to the legendary Petrine era. It was then that the birth of the Northern Russian capital took place. Over the past two decades, Russian and foreign architects have been working on the creation of the palace-manor family complex. As architects of the Yusupov Palace, Vallen-Delamot, Simon, Stepanov, Mikhailov, Monighetti, Vaitens, and also Kennel and Beloborodov were noted.
The rich history of the Yusupov Palace includes events that took place during the life of five generations of noble family of the Yusupovs (1830-1917). A lot of bright pages of St. Petersburg and Russian history are closely intertwined with this family residence of princes. Among other things, the Yusupov Palace on Moika is revived in history as the place where the Siberian peasant Grigory Rasputin ended his life, who happened to become a friend and mentor of Nicholas II, the last Russian emperor. In the rooms where a tragedy took place in the December night of 1917, a historical documentary thematic exposition was created today.
The residence in 1925 was transferred to the educational intelligentsia of St. Petersburg. And today the luxurious interiors of the Yusupov Palace serve the cause of enlightenment. Since the 1990s, the historical and cultural multifunctional center of the museum, theatrical, concert, cultural and enlightenment works here.

The daily work schedule of the Yusupov Palace is 11.00-17.00. The ticket office opens at 10.45 and works daily. Not every Petrograd tells how to get to the Yusupov Palace, which is one of the business cards of the Northern Capital. All because the transport does not go nearby. The nearest metro station "Sennaya" is about two kilometers away. After leaving the crossing, it is necessary to cross the Garden Square diagonally, then walk along the Senna pedestrian bridge, then along the Griboedov embankment to Fonarny Pereulok. When you have the Moika River in front of you, turn left and go along the Pochtamsky Bridge, from which the bright yellow facades of the Yusupov Palace (the embankment of the Moika River, 94) are already visible.
And although the opening hours of the Yusupov Palace are fixed, it is possible to agree in advance about the excursion at any other time.
Undoubtedly, both St. Petersburg and its suburbs are rich in landmarks. And, if you have the time, you should definitely visit Tsarskoe Selo with its Alexandrovsky Palace and the surrounding park.
