| Additional information |
The Petrovsky Road Palace in Moscow was built between 1776 and 1780 to designs by Matvei Kazakov, intended as a resting stop for the imperial family traveling the road between St. Petersburg and Moscow. Napoleon sheltered there briefly in September 1812 after the great fire forced him out of the Kremlin — one of the more ignominious episodes of his Russian campaign. The palace fell into disrepair through the Soviet period before a major restoration completed in 2009 returned it to use as a government reception facility.
