    Amazingly beautiful grotto! Inside, everything is made of a variety of shells, mother-of-pearl, pieces of broken glass and mirror. The illusion of being in a fabulous underwater world is created. There are more than 20 species of shells from the Mediterranean, Red, Japanese and Black Seas. Entrance 150 rubles.

    The Sheremetyev Palace and the Grotto (after restoration) captivated us with their splendor. A huge park area with flower beds and sculptures. A Dutch house with unique paintings; a day is not enough to visit all the pavilions and exhibitions.

    Honorable place. I have never seen anything like this. The destroyed figures of people are upsetting, but in general the French did not deface the building too much in 1812. If Gaudi imitated nature in his creations, then the local architect used it - a bunch of shells and compositions from them are impressive.

    An interesting building, built taking into account the cardinal directions and has special decoration inside. During business hours you can come in and look and find a small lizard, bunches of grapes and much more in the ornaments.

    A beautiful pavilion with a small pond behind it. We didn’t have time to go inside, although they were already letting us in. It's a really beautiful building if you look closely. I liked it and recommend a visit.

    Fabulous. There are no words. It’s surprising that here in Moscow, and not just in St. Petersburg, there are similar places. Magnificent restoration. A small pavilion, the inside is completely decorated with 24 types of sea shells. Flowers, birds, dragons, octopus, mother of pearl are reflected in the fragments of mirrors. A unique place.

    Very unusual decoration inside, mother of pearl, shells and shells of different types. A panel of them. Interesting information about the grotto is written on the stands. If desired, you can visit with a guide.

    Impressed. Beautiful. How could such a thing be done in those days?! And the materials seem simple, but how everything is laid out and laid out! Now I know what you can use the shells collected by your child at sea for! It would seem that there are pieces of glass in the plaster on the wall. But how it must have flickered and shimmered in the count of candles... Considering the whole surroundings, it’s a magical place. It was not for nothing that the queen dined there. Not often, of course, but there was

    Simultaneously with the main house, a “Grotto” was built, decorated with “typical statues of sea inhabitants”; its walls on the inside are strewn with shells. The Grotto is the only pavilion in Russia that has preserved its unique “grotto” decoration from the 18th century. The design of the interiors of the Grotto - the hall and two offices - is as decorative and expressive as the design of its facades. The low panel of the central hall, up to the window sill, serves as a pedestal for eight pairs of Corinthian columns with gilded bases and capitals, leading the eye through the powerful cornice to the dome arch rods and further into the gap of the light lantern. Through the hatch windows, which in the 18th century. They were covered with green fabrics, and greenish light, like water, poured in. The pastel range of marbled wall paintings creates a feeling of restrained solemnity of the central hall, in which the abundance of light and air and the echoing height of the dome play a special role. The interior decor of the Grotto is so self-sufficient that it was supplemented only by a chandelier and sixteen sconces “tin with sheets and porcelain flowers.”

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful grotto. The walls are lined with stones, shells and mother-of-pearl. Sheremetyevo did not skimp on style and wealth. Worth a look. (Original) Красивый грот. Стены выложен камнями, ракушками и перламутром. Шереметьево не скупились на стиль и богатство. Сто́ит зайти посмотреть.
