The original wooden palace was built in 1667 -1672 and it amazed noblemen and foreign ambassadors so much with its splendor, they named it "the eighth wonder of the world".
Unfortunately, 100 years later, the palace fell into disrepair. Empress Catherine II in 1768 ordered it to be demolished. But beforehand, she had a wooden model of the palace created.
With the help of this model, the palace was reconstructed and finished on the 4th of September, 2010.
The appearance of the palace is almost identical to that from old images.

The wooden palace created in the 17th century was designed primarily to show Russia and foreign dignitaries the grandeur of the Czar's power.
