Perché vale la deviazione

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.

The Clock Tower in Vyborg started as a bell tower for the cathedral and later served as a fire lookout. It is a historical landmark that survived the city's transfer from Sweden to Russia in 1710.

    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.
