The Cabin of Peter I

The Dining Room

Two doors, from the Ante-Room and the Bedroom, lead to the Dining Room, area 17 m². The doors are decorated with painting. The door leading from the Bedroom is of particular interest. Its painting depicts a European architectural landscape. Once it was probably a door of the captain cabin on one of the Sweden ships captured by Peter I.

In the middle of the Dining Room there is an oak table covered in the Dutch manner, a light tablecloth over a heavy velvet one. On the table there are copper and tin dishes and nutcrackers made of tin and base metals.

Over the nutwood chest of drawers (France, 16th century) there is a wall mirror in the redwood frame. Mirrors of this kind were used in Peter’s time to decorate walls thus increasing the candlelight reflected in the mirrors.

In the memory of the Chapel that used to be here in the middle of the 18th century, a Sudarium icon, similar to the one that belonged to Peter I, is kept here.
