IN'JOY Russia is glad to let you know that one of the oldest and the most mysterious historical architectural ensemble of St.Petersburg has been recently opened to the public. Guests are welcome to the park till the end of this summer. They are offered exhibition space for modern-day painters, a playground, a café and the city's first public vegetable garden. Only in summer 2011 there is a unique chance to look at the famous historical complex before the complete renovation works start."New Holland" is a monument of federal value. During the time of Peter the Great, in 1730th, warehouses for drying and storage of ship wood were built on the island. In the Soviet time the "New Holland" was handed over to the Leningrad naval base. The military target was secured; the entrance to the island was carried out only under admissions.
