Perché vale la deviazione

A wooden Chinese-style viewing tower once stood here, crowned by a dragon and named for the future Empress Maria Feodorovna. Tradition held that its Pompeian-style wall paintings followed her own sketches, but the pavilion has vanished; a wooden platform now marks the site and preserves the intended view.

Marienturm Hill is a hidden gem in Vyborg, Russia, known for its historical significance and scenic views. Although the original Chinese-style tower is gone, a wooden platform now offers visitors the intended panoramic view.

Che cosa c’è nei paraggi

I luoghi raccontati più vicini, con la distanza in linea d’aria da qui.

100 m
Pampusinka Island
Paul von Nicolay reshaped this tiny island from scattered stones into a garden composition and named it after his childhood nickname, "Pampusinka." It became a favorite place of his mother Johanna, who sat by the water remembering her son while his diplomatic career kept him far from Monrepos.
100 m
Chinese Bridges
These humpbacked bridges appeared in 1798 after a canal was cut to separate Column Island and regulate the estate's water system. Originally painted in several colors like opened fans, both disappeared in the Soviet period and were reconstructed by the Finnish Pro Monrepos association in 1998 and 2002, this time in white.
150 m
Column of the Two Emperors
Ludwig Nicolay raised this marble column as an unusually candid monument to patronage: Paul I had advanced his career, while Alexander I made Monrepos the Nicolays' hereditary estate. Its lost Latin inscription adapted Virgil to declare that Caesar had granted the family its place of repose.
300 m
Broglie Obelisk
A marble obelisk commemorating the Broglie brothers, who died in the Napoleonic Wars.
350 m
Tea Pavilion
The late-19th-century pavilion disappeared around the middle of the 20th century and was rebuilt on its original foundation in 2002 using photographs because no drawings survived. Its recovered Romantic view later became a film set for a love scene in Eldar Ryazanov's 2006 Hans Christian Andersen drama "A Life Without Love."
450 m
Monrepos Manor House
Ludwig Heinrich von Nicolay wrote his 1804 poetic guide to the estate in his study here, turning the house and surrounding park into a single literary composition. After wartime upheaval it served as a military rest home and kindergarten, suffered a serious fire in 1989, and was restored in 2017–2022; its permanent museum exhibition opened on January 22, 2025.
