Vyborg: Where Knights' Castles Meet Nordic Charm. Part II

Vyborg is a fascinating city with a uniquely complex cultural heritage, having been under Swedish, Finnish, Soviet, and now Russian control throughout its history. Located near the Finnish border, this medieval city is especially remarkable for its stunning 13th-century Vyborg Castle, which sits majestically on a small island and represents one of the few remaining examples of medieval military architecture in Russia. The city's architecture tells the story of its diverse past, with buildings ranging from Nordic Medieval and Swedish Baroque to Finnish functionalist and Soviet modernist styles, creating an exceptional architectural timeline. The famous Vyborg Library, designed by renowned Finnish architect Alvar Aalto in 1935, is considered a masterpiece of functionalist architecture and draws architecture enthusiasts from around the world, making Vyborg a unique testament to the cultural crossroads of Northern Europe.
