Life

Charlemagne's father, Jean Baptiste Charlemagne-Baudet, was a sculptor in Rouen and came to St. Petersburg in 1777 at the invitation of Catherine II . In 1797 Charlemagne began his training with his brothers Ludwig, Iwan and Karl as a scholarship holder at the Imperial Academy of the Arts . He has received several awards, including for his projects to build the Medical and Surgical Academy and the quarantine hospital . After completing his studies in 1803 with a 1st class certificate and a sword, he stayed at the academy for another year at his own request in order to perfect himself as an artist.

Charlemagne entered public service. He developed projects for the construction of state buildings and carried out such projects. His activity was not limited to St. Petersburg. In 1817 he became a member of the building committee of the Department of State Economy and Public Buildings of the Ministry of the Interior. 1821-1822 he developed a series of projects for buildings for the use of medicinal water and bath therapy on the basis of projects IF Wilsters on behalf of the interior minister . According to Charlemagne's plans, Giuseppe Bernardazzi built the Nikolausbäder (now Lermontowbäder ) in Pyatigorsk from 1826 to 1831 .

As a court architect, Charlemagne often accompanied members of the imperial family on their travels or traveled on their commissions.
