Catherinehof (Yekateringof) Park is situated on Yekateringofsky island between Yekateringofka and Tarakanovka rivers. It was  founded in 1711 and named in honour of Peter the Great's wife Yekaterina, who later became Empress Catherine I. Peter the Great ordered the building of a two-storey wooden palace here to serve as a travelling palace on route to Peterhof.  After the death of Peter and Catherine I, the park became less of an imperial residence and more of a city park. The palace was destroyed by fire in 1924 and Konstantin Ton's St Catherine's Church was demolished by the Bolsheviks in 1929. There has since been talk of restoring the palace and the church, but no plans have materialised yet.
