In the footsteps of the Scandinavian knights
Description:
In the Trail of the Scandinavian Knights
8.00 Departure from the metro Black River
10:00 Arrival in Primorsk. The main attraction of the city is the church of St. Mary Magdalene. Built in 1904 according to the project of Joseph Steinbeck, the church is interesting primarily for its unusual forms to the Russian eye, a 60-meter tower and the contours of entrance and window arches. This mixture of neo-Gothic and medieval was called northern modernism or national romanticism, a popular style in the construction of Scandinavian countries at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. We will also admire the picturesque stone, they say, of Finnish construction, cutting through the waters of the Gulf of Finland.
