Standing on the banks of the Fontanka River, a few steps from Nevsky Prospekt, the Sheremetev Palace was once the centre of one of the largest aristocratic estates in St. Petersburg, bequeathed to Field-Marshal Boris Sheremetev in 1712 and extending beyond what is now Ligovsky Prospekt. In its prime in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the Sheremetev Palace boasted not only extensive lands, but also its own hospital and theatre, where the Sheremetev's famous serf theatrical troupe and orchestra performed.
Today, the palace is called Fountain House and is a museum of Music.
