\n \n The Chapelle pavilion was located near the Upper Hothouses along the Menagerie line. Two Chapelle’s towers, connected with the arch, were built during 1825-1828 on the place of the dismantled southern bastion of the Menagerie. Constructing was started at the time of Alexander I rule. Menelaws used a part of walls of the Elizabethian lusthaus for constructing the new building. The appearance of the mystery – pavilion, as it was conceived by its creators, has reflected mystical spirits and legends of the Alexander epoch. The pavilion was crowned with a wind gauge in the form of a rooster and reproduced ruins a Gothic chapel, that was a well-known touch of gardening and park architecture. Inside room was lighted with stained-glass window with pictures of biblical scenes, the vault was painted by the artist V.Dadonov and sculptures of angels were made by V.I. Demut-Malinovsky. Inside the Chapelle there was a statue of the Saviour made in Stuttgart in 1820-1824 by the sculpture J.H. von Dannecker on the order of dowager Empress Maria Fiodorovna. It was supposed to place the statue in a Moscow church, but it was not done and the Empress presented the statue to her son – Emperor. A variant of the sculpture, made by the author, was placed in Regensburg. The Chapelle building was partly destroyed during WWII; a chiming clock, wind gauge, stained-glasses were lost. The restored works have to start in the pavilion at the nearest time.\n
