Peterhof Palace (Russian: Петерго́ф) (a parody of Early Modern Dutch "Piterhof", meaning "Peter's Court"), is a series of palaces and gardens located in Peterhof, Saint Petersburg, Russia, commissioned by Peter the Great as a direct response to the Palace of Versailles By Louis XIV, King of France. Originally built in 1709 for country housing, Peter the Great sought to expand the estate as a result of his visit to the French royal court in 1717, inspiring the nickname "Russian Versailles". The architect between 1714 and 1728 was Domenico Trezzini, and the style he used became the basis of the Petrine Baroque style favored throughout Saint Petersburg. Also in 1714, Jean-Baptiste Alexandre Le Blond, likely because of his previous collaboration with Versailles landscaper André Le Nôtre, was chosen to design the gardens. Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli completed the expansion from 1747 to 1756 for Elizabeth of Russia. The Historic Center of Saint Petersburg and its attached art complexes are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
