Vyborg
Смотровые
Выборг лучше всего читается сверху: с башни Олафа, Часовой башни и Батарейной горы. На башни нужен подъём по крутым лестницам, режим работы смотри в карточке.
Architecture
Tower of St. Olav
The Tower of St. Olav is the remaining tower of Vyborg Castle, a symbol of Vyborg.
Architecture
Clock Tower
The tower began as the bell tower of Vyborg's cathedral, rising within the fortified town whose churches and houses stood behind the wall attacked in 1495. It survived the transfer of Vyborg from Sweden to Russia after the 1710 siege, later becoming both a clock tower and a fire lookout while the adjoining cathedral fell into ruin.

Architecture
Battery Hill Water Tower
Built in 1930 as the largest water tower in Finland, this severe brick landmark represented the technical ambition of modern Finnish Viipuri. It survived the battles of 1939, 1941 and 1944 while many neighborhoods below were destroyed, yet the reconstructed Soviet water system made it obsolete almost immediately after the war.
Monument
Monument to Peter I in Vyborg
A bronze statue of Russian Emperor Peter I, known for its rich history of relocations.
Architecture
Temple of Neptune
The pavilion began as Nicolay's Temple of Piety, containing a figure of the Roman goddess Pietas with a child; only later did a statue of Neptune move inside and give it its present name. The decayed original was dismantled in 1948, a 1999 reconstruction burned in 2011, and the temple was recreated yet again in 2018.
