The Tsarina. Landscape Park And Ponds Stock Photography

Tsaritsyn landscape Park was founded in 1775. Almost immediately after Catherine II bought the Kantemirovskaya estate, larch trees and Siberian cedars were planted in the Park, which were sent as a gift to the Empress by the mining farmer Prokop Demidov larch trees still grow in the Park, but these are renewed plantings of the mid-XIX century. Vasily Bazhenov was engaged in the Park`s development throughout his leadership of Tsaritsyn construction. The pavilions and gazebos that have survived to this day were later created by the architect Ivan Yegotov.
