Cottage Krivdina
Landmark
Open Details
Sestroretsk is a city with a special atmosphere. The quaint local cottages, built in the Art Nouveau style, are nothing short of spectacular. In the late XIX - early XX century, this area was a thriving resort, where the St. Petersburg nobility vacationed. Today, many of the dachas are abandoned, however, this does not prevent them from looking fascinating.
One of the most unusual architectural objects - the dacha of Valentina Krivdina. There is very little historical information about the dacha, only the surname of the architect - Morozov is known.
It is impossible to get inside today, the building is mothballed, but the photos on its background will be very atmospheric!

Another interesting building in Sestroretsk is the country house of the chairman of the St. Petersburg thread manufactory F.R. Vitzel, built in the neoclassical style.
Until 2010 the mansion was a children's camp. Today the building looks unusual: austere neoclassical motifs are juxtaposed with brightly colored Soviet-era scrollboards and graffiti on the walls, which appeared after the camp fell into disrepair.
