Chinese Gazebo (often called the Creaking Pagoda or Skripuchaya Besedka) which is one of the most eccentric and picturesque structures in Catherine Park. Built between 1778 and 1786, this pavilion was designed by Yury Felten (Georg Friedrich Veldten) at the height of the 18th-century craze for Chinoiserie (Chinese-style art). The pavilion gets its popular nickname from the metal weather vane on its roof. Shaped like a Chinese banner, it was intentionally designed to creak loudly in the wind. Originally, such pavilions served as tea houses or resting spots for the Empress and her court during their walks. Pushkin (former Tsarskoe Selo) near Saint Petersburg, Russia, October 10, 2025
A quiet, historic section of Rataskaevu Street, just up from the well-known Cat s Well. The large bronze relief on the yellow wall to the left (Rataskaevu 10) is a memorial to Voldemar Panso (1920-1977), a legendary Estonian actor, director, and drama teacher. The building houses the Drama School of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, which Panso founded. The relief, created by sculptor Jaak Soans in 1979, depicts Panso s profile emerging from the "stage curtain" of the wall. The building at Rataskaevu 22 (just beyond the Panso relief) is historically significant as the former home of the renowned Renaissance painter Michel Sittow (c. 1469-1525). He was born in Tallinn (then Reval) and became a court portraitist for European royalty, including Isabella of Castile and Henry VII of England. The street features well-preserved medieval merchant houses with their characteristic high gables and hoist beams (used for lifting goods into storage lofts). The narrow, cobblestone path winds gently uphill, creating an intimate atmosphere distinct from the wider commercial streets below. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025
