Magnificent Gothic chapel. I was surprised with that inside it orthodox — Alexander Nevsky's church.

Doors are riddled since war. Restorers have not replaced a board but only have closed up apertures that is very correct. I at all do not know that for calibre, most likely traces of work of German MG 34.

Panoramic view on Gothic church.
The Gothic church in Peterhof was on hill and there is magnificent views open.

Marlinsky (Marly) pond and the Gauze Palace. Palaces at Peter I were ascetic and simple. Even a mansion in times is larger than Menshikov and more richly.
