200 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.
300 m
Vyborg Drakkars
Viking-ship monuments on the Salakkalahti quay, given to the city after Rostotsky's 1985 film.
450 m
Sculpture garden in Vyborg
A hidden gem featuring unique granite sculptures in a garden setting.
550 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.
650 m
Vyborg Telephone Station
Ullberg's 1922 telephone exchange on Mira Street. The lost wing is part of this building's story.
