Standing Stables (Pushkin)

The Standing Stables in Pushkin, Saint Petersburg, were constructed in 1823 for the court of Alexander I by architect Vasily Stasov. This architecturally unique building features a semi-circular shape and trapezoidal doorways, showcasing Stasov's innovative design techniques. Originally serving as stables, it has transformed over the years, including a period as a bus garage during World War II. Today, it houses a permanent exhibition of court carriages titled 'The Court Crew in Tsarskoe Selo,' making it a fascinating destination for tourists and researchers interested in Russian history and architecture.
