HET CZAAR PETERHUISJE
The home of Tsar Peter the Great, it bears witness to the strong ties between Russia and the Netherlands established here
Peter the Great stayed in this house during a tour of Western Europe in 1697/1698. The house bears witness to the very close relations between Russia and the Netherlands at that time. The Dutch know-how in the art of building ships and houses on marshy ground, and their experience in draining marshes, were of great interest to Russia. Today, this could be seen as a form of industrial espionage or an exchange of technology... These techniques were used to build Saint Petersburg.
