The most accessible fort, but it is no less enticing. It is easy to reach by yourself or with a tour, including water. From the fort you can make excellent footage a little less convenient in terms of accessibility of the fort "Alexander I".

Let's take a picture of an unnamed acting lighthouse, which differs from its brethren by the fact that it is made of wood. The light from the lighthouse lantern can be seen up to 30 km away.

Заброшенный док
Historic Site
Open Details
And again an object to our soul - a building, or rather what is left of it, which was once considered an embodiment of engineering genius.
This is the project of Peter the Great himself, which was completed 33 years later under Elizabeth Petrovna. According to the author's idea, all the water from the dock was moved to the lower level of the basin in just a day, while in Europe it took more than a month to drain water for ship repair.
Interestingly, the technical system built in the middle of the XVIII century, functioned until 2008. At the moment the dock is abandoned.
Note: according to eyewitnesses, you can get to the territory of the dock through the yard of the house on Kommunisticheskaya Street, 5.

Kronstadt Naval Cathedral (Морской Никольский собор)
Church
Open Details
The most classic landmark of the port city on Kotlin Island. It would be a shame to miss it in my lens, though it is slightly outside the program of our trip.
St. Nicholas' Naval Cathedral, built in 1913 on the model of St. Sophia Cathedral in Constantinople, was conceived as a monument to fallen sailors. Under the Soviet regime the cathedral was closed, and in 1930 and have thrown from it domes and crosses, having hoisted instead of them red flags.
In 2002 the cross was set up on the cathedral's bell tower again, and the restoration started in 11 years.
Mode of operation: Daily from 09:00 to 19:00.

Stop by the "haunted house" in pseudo-Gothic style, built in 1870 by Maximilian Mesmacher as a gift to his brother Georg.
In the spring of 2018, the facade of the building partially collapsed. The dacha is currently up for auction and its fate is unknown.
You may have to leave your car by the road and walk to the dacha.

And the last photo model for today. Once the dacha of St. Petersburg urban planner Nikolai Markovich Salko, which before the revolution of 1917 fell into the ownership of a certain Aino Grandlund, who modestly named it in his honor.
During the Winter War of 1939-1940s the villa was an object passing from hand to hand with Finland and Russia. After that it housed a hotel, some time ago administrative institutions, now it seems that the building is empty.

Let's discuss the experience over dinner in a picturesque place on the shore of the Gulf of Finland. The restaurant has an original circular fireplace in the centre of the restaurant, so regardless of the weather, we'll be warm and cosy outside the window.
We recommend you pay special attention to the meat and fish dishes cooked in the grill oven Hosper.
You can reserve a table by calling +7 (812) 433-23-12.
