Nicholas Palace (Russian: Nikolayevsky dvorets, Николаевский дворец) was one of several St Petersburg palaces designed by Andreas Stackensneider (1802-65) for the children of Nicholas I of Russia. The palace of Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaievich of Russia forms part of a sprawling complex incorporating a palacial church, a manege, and several outbuildings separated from Labour Square by a cast-iron fence. In 1894 the edifice reverted to the crown and was transformed into the Xenia Alexandrovna Institute for Women. The Bolsheviks renamed it as Labour Palace and handed it over to the trade unions who destroyed some parts of original eclectic interiors in order to adapt the palace for their own headquarters. As of 2004, the trade unions lease a large part of the edifice to commercial enterprises as offices.
