Kikin Hall

The Kikin Hall (Кикины палаты) is one of the oldest buildings in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The name of the architect is unknown, but similarities to the old Peterhof palace abound, suggesting an attribution to Andreas Schlüter.

[1] The palace was incomplete at the time of Alexander Kikin's disgrace and execution in 1718.

[2] The original two-storey residence was expanded and the third storey was added at some point in the 1720s.

[1] After 1733 the building was occupied by the office of the Horse Guards and their hospital.
