Voura village

In the village of Vyra in the XIX century there was a large postal station, which contained more than 50 post horses.

The village is located 28 km from the city of Gatchina, Leningrad region. Its main attraction is the Museum "House of the station caretaker" - the first museum of the literary hero (based on the story of Pushkin), which tells about the postal life of Russia of the XIX century. It was opened in 1972, located in the buildings of the former postal station. Next to the buildings is a wooden chapel in the name of Cosmas and Damian.

In the early twentieth century, the village was the estate of the Nabokovs, which is mentioned in the “Other shores” of Nabokov.

There are no hotels in the village, so most tourists stay in the Orbita hotel complex in the village of Novy Svet.
