50 m
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.

100 m
Podgornaya Street
Known historically as Bishop's Street, this picturesque route preserves seventeenth-century merchant houses and the irregular line of medieval Vyborg.
100 m
Wahl House
This merchant compound housed the offices of Paul Wahl and Company, one of nineteenth-century Vyborg’s important trading firms. Its last family owner, Olympic sailor Harry Wahl, filled the house with one of Finland’s greatest collections of stringed instruments, including violins by Stradivari, Guarneri and Amati.
100 m
Borchardt House
German merchant Anton Borchardt built this stone house in 1653, with a wine cellar where drinking and business were deliberately mixed: agreements with town councillors were traditionally sealed over wine or with a liquid gift. The restored building preserves the memory of a port city whose German, Swedish and Finnish-speaking merchants negotiated as enthusiastically as they drank.
