The Konstantinovsky Palace in Strelna is a monument that was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List, a remarkable example of Russian architecture. The idea of its creation belongs to Peter the Great who intended to build here an imperial country residence in 1720. In the 19th century the grand duke Constantine Nikolaevich and his family was often on vacation here. Unfortunately, during the Great Patriotic War the ensemble was heavily damaged over bombardments. The palace and adjacent territory were renovated only at the beginning of the 21st century. Nowadays the Konstantinovsky Palace is an official residence of the Russian president and constantly hosts state receptions, meetings, and talks (including the 32nd summit of the Group of Eight in 2006).
Visitors may walk through the park and see multiple works of art from the museum collection exhibited in the halls of the palace. In the immediate future the famous collection of Rostropovich that embraces more than 850 objects of Russian art will be displayed here.
