A stylish, romantic garden park, located on a riverbank in the Pskov region of Russia, inspired by techniques and traditions perfected in the creation of classical Italian parks and gardens. It is organised as a complex, multi-tiered system of terraces, each with its individual layout and purpose. The garden is located on a scenic hill leading up to a main building in the style of an English-Norman castle. Water is a central theme of the garden. From the water lilies on the mirrored surface of the pond, which on calm days perfectly reflects the spectacular surrounding views, over the ‘floating’ Cupid statue in the middle, especially imported from France, down through the tiered levels to the edge of the gently flowing river below where the bank slopes away and forms tiny, natural islets and backwaters.
