The Chinese palace can be deservedly called the treasure of the park in Oranienbaum. The name "Chinese" appeared for the reason that in the 18th century, during the time of Catherine II, the art of the Celestial Empire (the style of the chinoiser) became popular in Europe and several halls of the palace were decorated using oriental motifs. However, the art of China was very freely interpreted by the artists of that time. More about - Chinese Palace in Oranienbaum
