context_section_description: The estate’s plan is typical for the urban estate of the late XVIII century. The complex is formed by three interconnected buildings, the main house is located in the depth of the plot. In 1846-1850, the palace was partially rebuilt by the architect Garald Andreyevich Bosse. The main facade of the palace overlooks the courtyard, which is surrounded by low-rise wings and a fence with a gate. The wings around the courtyard were built in 1883.
  The central building of the complex is distinguished by rich decoration of the main and garden facades. Its middle part is marked with a portico decorated with four Ionic columns; the portico unites the first and the second floors. The columns are topped with marble statues standing on the entablature and embodying the seasons. The statues were made by an unknown Italian sculptor in the first half of the XVIII century. Between the second and the third floors there is a strongly protruding cornice.
  The main entrance to the palace is from the  Galernaya street. The entrance to the yard is decorated with monumental gates with busts on the pylons. Only the central risalit of the building is visible through the narrow openings of the entrance gate.
  The garden façade facing the Admiralteysky canal is enlivened with rounded protruding sides and a Corinthian order portico. 
  The garden is separated from the embankments by a stone rustic fence (along the embankment of the Novo-Admiralteysky canal) and a through lattice (along the Admiralteysky canal, early XIX century). At the junction of the fences at the southern end of the garden, opposite the Khrapovitsky bridge, there is a small two-storey pavilion (its author is also Luigi Ruska), crowned with a low dome. Its facades along the perimeter are decorated with arched windows. The design of the pavilion is complemented by balconies on the second floor and a descent into the garden from the inside. 
  The stone fence is decorated with copies of ancient busts (the end of the XVIII century, recreated in the 1970s).
