Petrodvorets originally arose because of the regular trips of Peter I from the under construction Petersburg to the under construction Kronstadt. For the rest of the king on the territory were built parelitsy. For the first time this place is mentioned in 1705. Later, in 1714 Peter had a plan to create a suburban residence, which in its luxury would not be inferior to the French Versailles. In the years 1720-1921, a unique water conduit is being designed by engineer Vasily Tuvolkov. Peterhof is listed in the list of cities protected by UNESCO.
