Annenhof

Annenhof was the name of two separate imperial palaces in Moscow in Russia, known as the Annenhof Winter Palace and Annenhof Summer Palace, both of them designed by Bartolomeo Rastrelli and built in 1730–1731 on the order of Empress Anna of Russia.

The Annenhof Winter Palace was constructed in the city of Moscow not long from the Kremlin.

The Annenhof Summer Palace was constructed at Lefortovo outside of Moscow.

In 1730, Empress Anna commissioned Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli construct a Baroque residence known as Annenhof.

Empress Elizabeth held a grand banquet here after her coronation in 1742.
