Peterhof has served as an imperial residence on the Gulf of Finland, west of Saint Petersburg, since the early 18th century. Founded by Peter the Great, its palace-and-park ensemble was shaped by the ambitions of the Russian imperial court. The Grand Cascade runs from the Grand Palace toward the sea, and its fountains are supplied by a gravity-fed water system rather than pumps. Peterhof is part of the Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments, a UNESCO World Heritage property.
