Abstract
The article brought to your attention is devoted to a little-known episode from the history of the Moscow Kremlin: to design and construction of the new Kremlin palace for the Emperor Paul I by the architect Nikolaj L´vov. It is an attempt to detect the ideas, that the architect tried to incarnate in the project, make clear the semantics of forms of this building, set the architectural constructions that served as prototypes for the L´vov’s project on the whole, so as for its separate elements. The structure of the palace complex included the Candlemas Church of the Ivan’s the Terrible times, which was supposed to be converted into a royal home church and a hanging garden raised on the substruction.
