In the regular area of the Catherine Park not far from the Upper Bathhouse stands the Lower Bathhouse. This pavilion, situated aside from the alleys of the park and intended for use by members of the court, was built to the design of the architect Ilya Neyelov in 1778–79. Its façade is half concealed from strollers in the garden by trees and shrubs. The facades of the pavilion suffered little during the Second World War and were restored in 1944–45. In July 2011, first time since 1917, after a long restoration work the Lower Bathhouse interiors finally opened to public with the exhibit Court Bath in the 21st century.
