    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.

    Burgher's Estate

    This surviving merchant compound preserves the irregular orientation of Vyborg before the orderly street plan imposed in the seventeenth century. Its stone residence and former stable evoke the prosperous but heavily defended civilian town that grew in the shadow of the castle and its recurring wars.

    House on the Rock

    This small burgher house sits directly on a granite outcrop where two medieval streets meet. Tradition associates it with a prosperous barber, giving it the nickname “Barber’s House”; although heavily altered after wars and sieges, it remains a rare fragment of domestic Swedish-era Vyborg.

    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.

    Hackman and Co House in Vyborg

    The Hackman and Co House, also known as the 'Granite Palace', is a notable example of national romantic architecture in Vyborg.

    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.
