In the early 19th century, a pavilion was erected at the point where four park regions in Pavlovsk come together: the White Birch, the Parade Ground, Old Sylvia and New Sylvia. The architect A. Voronikhin redesigned the building as a park pavilion. Surrounded by rose gardens, it became known as the Rose Pavilion. The Rose Pavilion was the gathering place of artists and writers in the company of Maria Fedorovna, who did all she could to be a dutiful hostess to her refined and educated guests. Its noble style and exquisite correlation of relief and plant life, building and man, now stands as a fitting symbol and reflection of the entire park.
