Temple building, Peterhof, St Petersburg, Russia
View of a neoclassical style temple building at Peterhof, St Petersburg, Russia. It is called (in French) the Palais de Babiegone, built in 1853 -- this may, or may not, have something to do with the Russian folk character, Baba Yaga. The temple is in the grounds of the Grand Palace of Peterhof (Pedrodvorets) which was commissioned by Peter the Great, inspired by a visit to Versailles
