    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.

    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.
