The Menshikov Palace, a federal cultural heritage site at 15 Universitetskaya Embankment in St. Petersburg, is a landmark of federal significance.

Construction of the palace began in May 1710, designed by architect Giovanni Maria Fontana, who was replaced in 1713 by Gottfried Johann Schedel, "master of chambers and plaster." By 1714, most of the construction work was completed, but interior decoration continued until 1727, despite the fact that His Holiness the Prince had already been exiled to Berezov.

The palace's reconstruction to accommodate the needs of the Cadet Corps was carried out in the second half of the 18th century, according to designs by architects Ivan Starov, Vasily Bazhenov, and Yuri Felten. During the reconstruction, the appearance of the facade was significantly altered, and the interiors were redesigned, but the unique chambers, consisting of four rooms and decorated during the reign of Peter the Great, were preserved.

Extensive restoration work, restoring the palace to its original appearance during the reign of Peter the Great, was carried out during the Soviet era and completed in the 1980s, with the direct participation of the architects who later founded ACM.

The restoration of the princely crowns and flowerpots to the palace's main façade occurred in the 2000s, under a project by ACM Group.
