Warum der Umweg sich lohnt

Its original Swedish and Finnish inscriptions advertised the multilingual commercial world of imperial-era Vyborg, while the banking hall was designed almost like a temple with the vault occupying the place of an altar. Since 1945 the former financial palace has housed a public library, turning a monument to private capital into a Soviet and Russian repository of books.

The Bank of the Nordic Countries Building is a hidden gem in Vyborg, Russia, known for its unique architectural design that resembles a temple. Originally a bank, it now serves as a public library, reflecting the city's multilingual commercial past.

    Vyborg’s tram system operated from 1912 to 1957 under Russian imperial, Finnish and Soviet administrations, continuing despite repeated changes of state and population. The replica car stands near the site of Finland’s worst tram accident, where two cars overturned in 1920, killing five people and injuring about twenty.

    Citizen's House

    This tiny tower-shaped dwelling, concealed inside a courtyard, is one of Vyborg's rare medieval private “fortresses.” Its thick boulder walls and cellar show how an urban household could resemble a defensive post in a frontier city repeatedly threatened by assault.
