Peterhof is a Russian imperial palace and park located on the Gulf of Finland, in Saint Petersburg. The palace was constructed from 1714 to 1725 by Peter the Great, who desired a residence outside Moscow, away from the bustle of the city. The palace was designed in the Rococo style by the French architect Jean-Baptiste Le Blond.
The park was constructed in the 18th century by Peter the Great and his successors. It is a typical example of a Russian garden and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ensemble of Peterhof Palace and Park is sometimes referred to as the "Russian Versailles".
