Built between 1795 and 1797 by order of Emperor Paul I, this historic fortress—also known as the Bastion of Emperor Paul—was designed by famed architect Vincenzo Brenna, with construction led by D. Quadri and military engineer V. Caius. Rising on the foundations of a 1702 Swedish outpost, BIP Castle blends imperial legacy with centuries of layered history, making it a one-of-a-kind backdrop for global connection and inspiration.
Just 20 kilometers from St. Petersburg and Pulkovo Airport, BIP Castle offers a truly magical setting for the EO White Nights Summit.

Our Venue: BIP Castle
Surrounded by the serene Marienthal Park and close to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Pavlovsk Palace and Park—masterpieces crafted by iconic architects like Charles Cameron, Giacomo Quarenghi, and Andrey Voronikhin—BIP Castle blends imperial grandeur with natural beauty. Its pentagonal structure, complete with watchtowers and historic military fortifications, once housed cannons and even served as Russia's first school for the hearing-impaired.
Today, the castle’s romantic ruins and restored interiors create an atmospheric backdrop, where history meets innovation— perfect for inspiring transformative ideas and connections.
