The Hanging Garden is an architectural construction typical of 18th-century palatial ensembles. It is situated on the first floor over the former royal stables and coach-houses and occupies the space between the two galleries connecting the northern and southern pavilions of the Small Hermitage. The central path of the garden is adorned with decorative sculpture. Near the northern pavilion is a parterre with a marble fountain in its centre. The garden is surrounded with small decorative statues specially designed for it. Along the longitudinal galleries near the walls there are little wooden pigeon-houses shaped as garden pavilions.
