    Let's go take pictures of Trongzund Fortress. Since Peter's time it has been rebuilt, armed and disarmed without end. As a result, the fortress has not been used in any war since the 18th century.
    Trongzund acquired its present appearance in the second half of the XVIII century. It was literally cut down in the coastal Karelian rocks.
    Important: do not forget the basic safety rules if you decide to look into casemate.

    Moving to Vyborg. Here, a five-storey Art Nouveau-style house, or more precisely, a collapsing facade reminiscent of it, deserves our attention.
    Until the mid 80s it was one of the most remarkable houses in Vyborg. Its interiors were decorated with frescos, oak ceilings and handmade fireplaces.
    In 1988, the building was relocated for the purpose of major renovation. But perestroika and the severe 90s were also present, and no one needed the architectural monument. The real owner, the construction company, has not yet been able to prosecute.

    Five minutes, and we, according to unofficial reports, have the oldest apartment building in Russia. Curiously, he's still doing his job right to this day.

    In front of us once a school of the Franciscan monastery built in the 16th century. The walls of the school, surprisingly, have been preserved despite repeated reconstructions of the building for various purposes.
    Since 2003, the Church of St. Hyacinth has served as a site for exhibitions of the Vyborg Castle, and the city authorities still receive letters asking to return the church to the believers.

    It's time for refreshment. Weather permitting, we'll do it on the cozy terrace. The atmosphere of the Middle Ages all around is impressive.
    As you can guess from the name, the main emphasis in the menu is on meat dishes, which have rightly gained recognition among the restaurant's guests.
    You can book a table by phone +7 (981) 760-01-08.

    We move to the largest and the most powerful river of the Karelian Isthmus to see in person the church, listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the only one in the world built on a tiny island.
    For a long time it was possible to reach the church only by ferry, but a few years ago a massive bridge was built, which is still heavily criticized to this day.
    The church is open only in summer, but in winter you can walk around.

    We finish our photo journey at the restaurant, located on the territory of the equestrian club.
    On the menu there is indeed a huge choice of fish and meat dishes prepared by the restaurant's chef. A whole page of homemade desserts deserves special attention.
    You can reserve a table by phone +7 (812) 245-04-15.
