The First UCN Factory Workshop - Workshop Site

The town of Pushkin, one of the loveliest suburbs of St. Petersburg, lies within 20 km from the city  (15 km from the international airport Pulkovo).  The town boasts magnificent palaces and park ensembles, and it should cause no surprise since from the middle of the 18th century it was a gala residence of Russian tsars.

  The mansion of prince V.P.Kochubey - chief master of ceremonies at Russian Imperial court - is one of the most beautiful palaces of the town; it was built between 1911-1913 to the design by the architects A.I.Tamanyan and N.E.Lancere. The mansion was  designed and built in the style of late classicism to become a big country house. Natural and artificial marble, various kinds of wood, wall paintings were used for the palace decoration.   We organized sightseeing of Tsarskoye Selo and its parks. We introduced you to the most famous attractions of St. Petersburg and its environs. Experienced guides/interpreters will be at your service.  Art gallery organizes here a lot of exhibitions.
