Вилла "Niemen Hovi", или усадьба Крузеля
Open Details
Jalmar Krusel is the illegitimate son of Alfred Nobel, mistakenly referred to as Nobel's son-in-law. He was one of the managers of the family oil production company BraNobel.
His villa was renovated after the war, all the historic interiors were replaced, and a red brick veranda appeared. The grounds housed the Stroitel vacation home. New buildings of the sanatorium were to be built on the territory of the villa, but it never happened.
Nowadays the Krusel estate is abandoned, and the entrance to it is free.

The day was rich in impressions and emotions, but it is coming to an end, so it is time to go to the hotel to rest and relax. Tomorrow you will have a long trip, so you need a good night's sleep. You can have breakfast at the recreation center restaurant.
