The White Hall is associated with one of the most romantic love stories of the 19th century, in which the fate of Count Sheremetev's beloved was miraculously formed. This hall was created for the wedding celebration of the count with Praskovya Zhemchugova, a former serf actress, to whom the count gave freedom, and being captivated by her, he managed to obtain the right to marry. The witness at the wedding was the architect Giacomo Quarenghi, the creator of the White Hall.
