Palace History
Annengof was laid by Peter I in 1714 south of Ekaterinhof [1] . According to the Campaign Journal, the king visited the palace under construction on May 3, 1714 [1] . The surviving drawing of this palace indicates that this miniature ensemble consisted of a main building and two wings connected to it by a fence with a gate. The main house was a one-story, elongated, topped with a mezzanine, which ended with a balustrade. The length of the palace was 12 fathoms (25.56 m), the width - 6 fathoms (12.78 m) [2] . Berchholz, the Junker of the Holstein Court, mentions Annenhof in his diary in a note dated September 7, 1724:
Some of our courtiers today examined Annenhof and Elisavethof, two imperial amusement palaces that were recently erected on the banks of the Neva. The first of them was already much more finished than the second [3] .
Finishing and decorative work in the palace continued until the early 1730s [4] . Field Marshal Minich , who visited the palace in 1741, found it dilapidated and came to the conclusion that the building must be completely rebuilt "with the same appearance", but this proposal was rejected [2] . When Elizabeth Petrovna in the late 1740s. Annenhof has been renovated. After the wooden summer Palace of Anna Ioannovna was dismantled in the Summer Garden in the spring of 1748, “a few chambers from the house transported” were delivered to Annenhof [5] . Supervised by the architect Harman van Bolos [6] . Under Catherine II , in 1764, Annenhof rented for ten years an impresario from Italy, Giovanni Battista Lokatelli (1713-1785) [5] . He held masquerades here, dinner parties, opera performances. In 1765, Annenhof visited D. Casanova . Here he gave friends a farewell dinner with fireworks. By the end of the XVIII century, Annengoff fell into desolation, and, according to the gof-quartermaster’s office , “it is being plundered by unknown people” [7] .
Below the village of Yekaterinhof are Annengof and, next to this, Elisavethof near the coast. Each has a wooden structure in the 1st floor and a forest on a small space. They were summer houses donated by PETER THE GREAT to both Tsesarevna ANNA PETROVNA and ELISAVET PETROVNA. Nowadays they are not only empty without the slightest use, but they have completely fallen off.
-I.-G. Georgi, 1794 [8]
In 1801, by decree of Paul I, the Annenhof Palace was transferred “to the eternal and hereditary possession” to Count Palen . However, he could not take over the palace, because after participating in the regicide he was removed from the capital to his Courland estate [9] . As a result, Annengoff was scrapped and dismantled [10] .
In the XIX century, on the site of the former palace of Anna Petrovna, a private manor house was built, which according to the 1910s belonged to the Kartavins family and had the address Volynkina village , house 46 [11] . Later, this house was dismantled, and the estate was transferred to the Leningrad Battery Plant.
