ConstructionThe Summer Palace was first planned in 1710 by Peter the Great and built by the Swiss Italian architect Domenico Trezzini, who elaborated the Petrine Baroque style of Russian architecture, as a two-storied stone building with four-sloped roofing. Compared with other European palaces of the time, the Summer Palace was a very modest building reminiscent of the style of houses for Dutch Burghers from the same period and during its construction was decorated with a frieze of 29 bas-reliefs by the German baroque sculptor and architect Andreas Schlüter that depicting scenes from ancient myths and victorious Russian battles in the Great Northern War and was the first palace built in Saint Petersburg and, also, was the first building in the city to have piped water. Each of the Summer Palace’s two floors were built having seven rooms with a similar plan and were decorated by Russian architect Mikhail Zemtsov, German baroque sculptor and architect Andreas Schlüter and Italian architect Nicola Michetti with most of the rooms having walls of red and green and oak panels and an innovative central heating system that featured solid fuel burning boilers with elaborate blue and white porcelain ductwork. Of the rooms to be noted are: the reception room; the assembly room (grand hall); the jail where Peter personally prosecuted, locked up, and released prisoners; and Peter’s favorite room, his workshop.
