Tver Imperial Road Palace or hotel for members of the royal family

In the very center of Tver, at the place where the Tver Kremlin once towered, now the Imperial Road Palace has been standing for 250 years. The best architects of Russia were involved in its creation and reorganization: Nikitin, Bove, Rossi. The palace was repeatedly completed and restored, it served as a hotel for Catherine II, and was also a governor's residence and a museum. The Soviet power was proclaimed in Tver from its balcony in 1917.
Such palaces as the Imperial Road Palace were built in Russia for the traveling members of the royal family. There were 14 in total, but only 9 have survived to this day, and Tver Imperial Road Palace is one of the most beautiful and ceremonial ones. It was built on the Sobornaya Square on the high bank of the Volga. Its first lodger was Catherine the Great: immediately after the construction not only rest rooms for royal rest, but also a house church, ceremonial halls and a library were arranged in the palace. Later a complex of farm buildings arose around the palace, in particular, stables and pavilions were added. The walls of the palace "remember" how the Russian historian and writer N.M. Karamzin read his "History of the Russian State" aloud here. During the Second World War the palace was badly damaged and was closed for a long time. Later it was transferred into the Tver Art Gallery. Now the restoration is completed, and a permanent exposition is formed in the halls of the palace.
