The Clock Tower in Vyborg has an interesting history.
It was built as the bell tower of the cathedral. However, the temple itself has not survived to this day. It was destroyed during the Soviet-Finnish war. Many confidently declare that the mechanism of the 19th century is still functioning in the walls of the tower. At the top of the building there is an observation deck, which is accessed by a spiral staircase inside the building. A stunning panorama of the historical heart of Vyborg opens from the top of the tower. Here, in the tower, there is a giant bell, which was presented to Vyborg by Empress Catherine the Great.
Another old tower in Vyborg is called the Round. It was part of the destroyed Vyborg fortress, which once defended the Swedish city from the Russian army.
Since the reign of Anna Ioannovna, the Annensky fortifications have been preserved in Vyborg. They were built in the 30s of the 18th century to defend the Russian lands from the Swedes. However, the Annenkron complex (this is what it was called in honor of the then reigning empress) was never tested in practice.
An interesting monument of shipbuilding, albeit a fake one, is the Viking Drakkars.
These are ancient ships on which a harsh and militant people moved across the sea. The ships came to Vyborg during the filming of the film "And trees grow on the stones" in the second half of the 20th century. After the movie was filmed, the director donated these sets to the city. They stand on the embankment near the Salakka-Lahti Bay, not far from the Druzhba Hotel.
The library of Alvar Aalto is considered the pride of the Vyborg people. It was built in 1935 by a famous Finnish architect who used his favorite techniques. This is the absence of artificial materials, a wavy ceiling, special windows that protect books from ultraviolet radiation.
The railway station in Vyborg belongs to the historical and architectural monuments, the webcams of which can be viewed without leaving your home.
The first passenger terminal building was built on this site back in the 19th century. On the eve of the Revolution, it was rebuilt. However, after the war, the structure was completely destroyed. The new station that can be seen today was built in 1953. The building was given the then fashionable "Stalinist Empire" style, which is characterized by monumentality and strict geometry of lines.
The main one in Vyborg is the Market Square, which was built in the 19th century on the site of the dismantled Horned Fortress, which served as a city wall.
It is from this building that the Round Tower, mentioned above, and the former Finnish bank, where the city Administration is located today, remained in the city. The central market, built at the beginning of the last century, can also be referred to as architectural monuments.
Another area of Vyborg is called "Red".
In the Middle Ages, it was called the Red Well Square because of the execution here of the supporters of King Sigismund, who was overthrown at the end of the 16th century. This event went down in history as the "Vyborg massacre". Today, near this place are such attractions as the merchant mansion of Fyodor Moskvin and the Lenin monument.
The Vyborg City Hall, built in the 17th century, is a unique building. The original building had two floors. And in the 19th century, two more tiers were added to it. After the Great Patriotic War, the building of the city government, which was based there until the end of the 18th century, was converted into an apartment building.
The main monuments of cult architecture of the era of classicism include the Transfiguration Cathedral.
They began to build it by the decree of Catherine II, but the appearance that can be seen now was given to the building after restoration work in the 19th century. The bell tower and clock on the cathedral were added at the end of the 18th century. Later, the mechanism was disassembled due to the fact that its ringing was interrupted by the tower of the police department. But in our century, the tower was returned to its original place.
An interesting building can be seen on Vokzalnaya Street. This is the headquarters of the Finnish company "Hyakli, Lallukka and Co", which was built here at the beginning of this century by the design of Allan Shulman. The building was practically destroyed in the Soviet-Finnish war, but restored thanks to the efforts of the restorers. It was decorated with sculptural compositions, one of which stands at the entrance today, and two more are exhibited in the Vyborg Castle.
