Discover the major role seldom-visited Yusupov Palace has played in Russia’s history, touring its lavish interior. Sometimes called the Moika Palace due to its position on the banks of that river, the house belonged to the Yusupovs from the 1830s. They were one of Imperial Russia’s wealthiest families, and you’ll see evidence of their opulent lifestyle throughout its grand rooms. There is a darker history here, too, and you’ll descend into its basement to learn about it. In December 1916, Felix Yusupov, worried that the mystic Rasputin wielded too much influence over Tsar Nicholas II, lured him to this room and killed him.
