Its regulations were published on

12 August 1810, when the four-storied "new" wing of the Great Palace was appointed for its accommodation, with special premises for a hospital, a kitchen and other domestic requirements, as well as a residence for the administrative staff. Furniture and utensils were given with the
neoclassical building designed by
Vasily Stasov and situated next to the
Catherine Palace.
The Tsarskoe Selo Lyceum was opened on
October 19,
1811. The first graduates were all brilliant and included
Alexander Pushkin and
Alexander Gorchakov. The opening date was celebrated each year with carousals and revels, and Pushkin composed new verses for each of those occasions. In January
1844 the Lyceum was moved to
St Petersburg.
