Unknown Surroundings of St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg, the main city of the Russian Empire, the cultural capital of modern Russia, and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe with many preserved palaces, houses, and entire architectural ensembles. However, rare is the tourist who, having... enjoyed the beauty of the historical center, ventures beyond its borders. Meanwhile, the Leningrad region holds many masterpieces of imperial architecture within itself. All of them differ in size, style, the prominence of their former owners, and condition, but in each of these places lies an invaluable treasure – a tragic history and the atmosphere of a bygone era that is very far from us.
In Anna Korob's book "Unknown Surroundings of St. Petersburg," photographs of abandoned estates and temples in the Leningrad region are presented, along with the history of these places referencing authoritative sources.
This publication will make a wonderful gift for those who love history, photography, and abandoned places.
