The Mausoleum of Benevolent Husband in Pavlovsk park.
The State Museum Pavlovsk. Architectural survey works for further restoration.
Existing situation
Designed in the style of a Roman pavilion, a fitting tribute to Paul I's taste, the mausoleum set in a rambling wood is well suited to calm reflection. Though no one is actually buried here, the austere building is crowned with masks of mourning and a pseudo-gravestone can be seen from the wrought-iron gates that bar the entrance. A sculptural monument of a robed, kneeling woman, arm outstretched on the would-be tomb is situated inside.
Architectural and survey works for further restoration were carried out in Pavlovsky Park in September 2016, as well as in the period from March to June 2018.
