St. Petersburg summer residents: a tour of the Stone Island

Unusual excursions in St. Petersburg - a tour of the Stone Island!

Stone island since the time of Paul I becomes a favorite place for summer holidays of St. Petersburg nobility. Far from the noisy streets, we will take a leisurely walk, inspect the cottages that have survived to this day and get acquainted with the history of their inhabitants. Among other things, you will see such famous objects as Prince Oldenburg’s dacha, His Imperial Majesty’s own dacha, Kleinmikhel’s dacha, Follenweider’s mansion, Wurgaft’s blue dacha, Bekhterev’s dacha, Ruadze’s mansion and many others. On the example of the Stone Island cottages, we will trace how the style of eclecticism and modernism developed at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
