The palace has had a fortunate history. Since Peter I’s time the palace hasn’t been rebuilt, though some damage has been done to the interior design. To date, the layout and the exterior of the palace have remained untouched, so have the allegorical ceiling paintings and certain pieces of furniture — pinewood wardrobes, tiled stoves and walls covered with painted Dutch tiles, wooden panels on the walls of the rooms on the first floor, the interior of the Lower and the Upper Kitchen and the Green Study. Peter I’s unique wind indicator in Peter’s Study is still showing the direction and speed of the wind as well as the time. Danzig cupboard on the second floor, according to a legend, was used by Peter for keeping his underwear and jackboots.
