Peterhof is a German name. It means "Peter’s Yard" or "Peter’s Home". Between 1944 and the early 1990s the town was called Petrodvorets, the Russian equivalent of Peterhof, and some guidebooks might still refer to it as that. However, they decided to change it back to Peterhof!
Peterhof is the Russian Versailles. It is enormous. Peter the Great founded the estate at the start of the 1700's. |
