Lomonosov ((ロシア語:Ломоно́сов); before 1948: Oranienbaum, ) is a municipal town in Petrodvortsovy District of the federal city of St. Petersburg, Russia, located on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland, west of St. Petersburg proper. Population: It is the site of an 18th-century park and palace complex (see Oranienbaum). The palace is the only one of the famous palaces in the vicinity of St. Petersburg that was not captured by the Germans during World War II. It was granted town status in 1710. ==Name== The original name of the town is ''Oranienbaum'', which means "orange tree" in German (in modern German, the word is ''Orangenbaum''). It was initially applied to the palace complex, which had greenhouses for exotic plants. Its present name honors the scientist, poet and glassblower Mikhail Lomonosov. In 1754, Lomonosov founded a colored-glass factory near Oranienbaum, in the village of Ust-Ruditsa. A third, unofficial name, ''Rambov'' (a contraction of "Oranienbaum") is popular among the locals. Lomonosov can be reached by suburban train from St. Petersburg's Baltic Terminal to Oranienbaum Station. The Great Palace with the Lower Park is an outstanding artistic complex of the first quarter of the eighteenth century. It was built in 1710-25 opposite Kronstadt, in the neighbourhood of the royal residence Peterhof, by the architects Giovanni Mario Fontana and Gottfried Johann Schadel and was intended for Alexander Menshikov, a close associate of Peter the Great. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lomonosov, Russia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
