    Due to the emergency condition of the buildings, the fortress is now closed, and then reopened to the public.

    We will visit a very unusual castle located in Gatchina on the shore of the Black Lake. It was built for the French prince and Prior of the Order of Malta Condé with the permission of Paul I. This is a case where the Russian ruler's fascination with mysticism played into the hands of both the Frenchman and us.
    The Priory Palace was built using the technology of earthwork. Its walls are completely made of earth. And you would not even guess!
    The palace park is open daily from 06:00 to 22:00. The Gatchina Palace and the Priory Palace are open for independent viewing until 19:00.
    You can buy tickets for guided tours, as well as read additional rules for visiting them on official website. In addition, an individual tour of the Priory Palace can be pre-ordered by phone +7 (813) 719-34-92.
