Yusupov Palace
Designed by Velen-Delamot in pure classic style, the palace was built in 1760s for the count Shuvalov. In 1830 the palace was purchased by the Yusupovs, one of the richest and most-powerful families in pre-Soviet Russia. Considerably reconstructed in1830s, it became one of St.Petersburg's most magnificent palaces competing with royal palaces in luxury and elegance. The real pearl of the palace is a cosy family theatre. The palace is noted not only for its splendor, but for the historic event which took place there in December 1916, when a group of plotters, with Felix Yusupov among them, killed Gregory Rasputin, the Royal family's favorite.
