The history of the palace dates back to the epoch of Peter the Great, who founded St Petersburg in 1703. It took nearly 200 years for the palace to achieve its present shape. Five generations of Russia’s elite aristocratic dynasty, the Yusupovs, owned the palace between 1830 and 1917. Many of Russia’s and St Petersburg's historical events were associated with the Yusupov family nest on the Moika. The pre-Yusupov period was a prolonged one and lasted more than a century. In the early 18th century, a small palace was built for Princess Praskovia, Peter the Great’s niece, on the left bank of the Moika River. In 1726, Praskovia gave her house to the Semyonovsky Royal Guard Regiment, which used the palace until 1742. In the mid-1740s, the palace was bought by Count Pyotr Shuvalov. His son Andrei didn’t like the house and a new palace was built in the 1770s. In 1795 the government purchased it from the Shuvalov dynasty, and Empress Catherine gave it as a reward to her maid of honour, Countess Alexandra Branitskaya, who owned the palace for 35 years before selling it to her nephew Boris Yusupov. Seven years of remodelling transformed a modest building into a fantastic, luxurious palace for the Yusupov family. Prince Boris soon brought the priceless collection of paintings, glass and jewellery gathered by his father to the new St Petersburg estate. Prince Nikolai Yusupov, Boris’s son, took over the palace in the mid-1850s. He made an excellent career as a politician. In his free time he composed and played music, displaying a great talent in the musical arts. He spent a lot of money on charity and patronised the arts. The date the palace was sold to the Yusupovs, March 5, 1830, marked the beginning of a new, much more dynamic and glamorous era for the old palace, which went down in the Russian history and St Petersburg’s architectural chronicles under the name “The Yusupov Palace". The beauty and popularity of the palace grew increasingly. Between 1840 and 1860 more improvements were added to different rooms of the palace, including a private theatre, winter garden, music room, living rooms, dining rooms, libraries and bedrooms. During World War ii the palace was damaged but after the defeat. of the Germans it was reconstructed once again. The palace now functions as a cultural and educational events. it is open to the public. The palace contains one of the richest collections of furniture, paintings and sculpture from the 19th century. The rooms show the traditions, tasters and ways of life of the previous centuries.
