The Yusupov Palace acquired its present appearance in the course of palace’s constructions from 1760 till 1850 done by the famous architects of the time. The building belonged to the Yusupov family. The staterooms in neoclassical style are remarkable for their rich and elegant decoration. The unique West European works of art as well as musical instruments of the 19th century adorn the palace interior. The gem of the palace is the unique Domestic Theatre built in the Baroque style as a miniature of the world-known Mariinsky Theatre. The palace has a historical meaning since the night of 16-17 December 1916, when Grigory Rasputin, who was very close to the family of Emperor Nicholas II, was murdered here by a group of monarchists, including Prince Felix Yusupov.
