The Alexander Palace ( eng.tzar.ru/museums/palaces/alex_ander )
Home of the last Tsar, Nicholas II, and his family.
The building was ransacked and largely destroyed by the Germans in WWII. After the war, it was rebuilt as a Naval college and orphanage. It remained closed to the public until 1997, when the east wing was opened as a museum, with three rooms restored to their pre-1917 appearance and the bare rooms in the rest of the wing used as exhibit halls. Three more rooms were restored in 2010, and the palace closed in 2015 for a complete restoration at last.
