About Saint Michael's Castle
Saint Michael's Castle, a former royal residence, stands in the historic center of Saint Petersburg, Russia. Emperor Paul I had it built by the architects Vincenzo Brenna and Vasily Bazhenov between 1797 and 1801. The name honors the Archangel Michael, patron saint of the royal family. Each side of the building looks different, because the architects mixed French Classicism, the Italian Renaissance and Gothic motifs.
It was built south of the Summer Garden, on the site once occupied by a small wooden palace belonging to Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. Paul disliked the Winter Palace and feared plots against him. Because of that fear, and his fascination with medieval knights, the new residence was laid out as a castle, with an octagonal courtyard at its center. The Moika and Fontanka rivers and two dug canals surrounded the building, turning the site into an artificial island reached by drawbridges.
Construction began on March 9, 1797, and the castle was consecrated on November 8, 1800, the Eastern Orthodox feast of St Michael, with interior work continuing until March 1801. Paul was assassinated in his own bedroom on March 12, 1801, only 40 nights after moving in. The building later passed into the hands of the army's Main Engineering School and became known as the Engineers' Castle.
