The Hanging Garden is an architectural structure typical
of 18th-century palace ensembles. It is located at second-storey level,
above what were the court stables and carriage houses and occupies
an area between the galleries that link the Northern and Southern
Pavilions of the Small Hermitage. The garden's central alley is adorned
by decorative sculptures. A parterre of flowerbeds with a marble fountain
is laid out by the Northern Pavilion. Statues are placed around the
fountain. In the middle of the 19th century a glazed tent-roofed winter
garden was created here. There are wooden dovecotes by the walls of
the galleries. |
