| '''''Peterhof''''' (Петергоф) is a Russian town on the south shore of the Gulf of Finland, part of the Petrodvortsov district (Петродворцовый район) in the federal district of Saint Petersburg.
| |
| | |
| During Tchaikovsky's lifetime it was the administrative centre of the Peterhof district (Петергофский уезд) in the Saint Petersburg province (Санкт-Петербургская губерния) of the Russian Empire.
| |
| | |
| From 1944 to 1997 it was known as '''''Petrodvorets''''' (Петродворец).
