The State Art-Architectural Palace-Park Museum-Reserve “Pavlovsk” is a palace and park ensemble of the late 18th – early 19th centuries, located in the town of Pavlovsk, a suburb of St. Petersburg.

The centerpiece of the complex is the Pavlovsk Palace, the summer palace of Paul I, Emperor of the Russian Empire in 1796-1801.

Pavlovsk is perhaps the most charming of the imperial residences located in the suburbs of St. Petersburg. It was built later than the others.

In 1782-1786, the architect Charles Cameron built a large palace with side colonnades and service buildings here. During the short reign of Paul I, the palace was rebuilt and expanded.
