What else is close by
The nearest places we have written up, with straight-line distance from here.
100 m
Former Viipuri Music Institute and Otso House
Behind this commercial facade, Boris Sirpo's music school grew into one of Finland's most important conservatories and made 1920s–1930s Viipuri a serious rival to Helsinki's concert life. During the Winter War, caretaker Hulda Puustell helped pack more than 10,000 scores into crates; the rescued library eventually followed the evacuated institute to Lahti.
200 m
Vyborg Telephone Station
Ullberg's 1922 telephone exchange on Mira Street. The lost wing is part of this building's story.
350 m
Pietinen Palace
Furniture magnate Matti Pietinen greeted rail passengers with this lavish 1907–1908 apartment and commercial palace, complete with elevators, hot water and a sculpted entrance guarded by stone lions. Its design united work by Bertel Jung, Oscar Bomanson and Armas Lindgren, turning a speculative building opposite the station into a manifesto of Finnish national romanticism.
400 m
House with Owls
Crowned owls, lyres and stylized plants decorate this 1909 national-romantic apartment house. Nicholas Roerich and his family lived here from October 1918 to May 1919, and the artist produced numerous works during this politically uncertain pause between Russia and his later life abroad.
