The Leningrad region is rich in architectural monuments. Some are kept in excellent condition and are accessible for tourists. Most of them we know - Gatchina Palace, Peter and Paul Fortress, Priory Palace, Oreshek Fortress.
I suggest you go for a walk through atypical monuments of architecture and see the Church of the Holy Trinity, Zapolye estate, Tikhvin Monastery of the Assumption, the Old Artist Fortress. We will also visit some places imbued with the atmosphere of creativity, in particular, the House Museum of F.M.Dostoevsky and the Museum-Estate of N.A.Rimsky-Korsakov. And just a leisurely stroll through the art museums of Veliky Novgorod.
