MON PLAISIR (from French meaning "my pleasure"), a palace in the Lower park of Peterhof - a single-storied brick Holland House, joined with the help of glazed galleries with its side wings (1714-1723, architect I.F. Braunstein, J.B. Le Blond, N. Michetti, to the draft of Peter the Great), located on the shore of the gulf, where a terrace with a balustrade was arranged (stone ground, 1787-1788). In front of the South Court of Mon Plaisir there is a garden with the Sheaf fountain and four bells-fountains (craftsman L. Garnichfelt, to the draft of Peter the Great). From the west side the garden is restricted by the stone Catherine outbuilding (1744-1755, architect F. Rastrelli; rebuilt in 1785-86, architect G. Quarenghi), from the east side - the Bath-House (1800, architect G. Quarenghi) and the Assembly Hall (1726-32, architect M.G. Zemtsov, 1748, architect F. Rastrelli). In 1918, Mon Plaisir was turned into a museum; it was relatively lightly damaged during the Second World War, restored in 1959-65 (architect A.E. Hessen) and in the 1970s-90s. Y. M. Piryutko.
