The Summer Palace is the name of 3 Russian royal residences in Saint Petersburg, of which only one survives to the present days, the Summer House. It was designed by Domenico Trezzini, from 1710 to 1714, in a Baroque style, for Tsar Peter the Great. This mansion was intended as an entertainment center, and Peter the Great moved into the mansion still under construction in 1712, spending all his summers there until his death 1725.
