Sights of Vsevolozhsk – what to see in 1 day

One of the most picturesque cities in the Leningrad region is Vsevolozhsk. It arose on the site of a holiday village and a railway station built specifically for it. It received its name in honor of the founder Pavel Aleksandrovich Vsevolozhsky, who invested in the construction of the railway and became its shareholder. This place has always attracted St. Petersburg residents due to its nature, geographical location and special atmosphere. Pushkin visited here, the first cheese factory of Catherine II was once located here, during the Second World War the “Road of Life” passed through - the only thread connecting the mainland with besieged Leningrad. Today Vsevolozhsk is an attractive tourist route. The city has comfortable hotels and restaurants with interesting cuisine. There are few attractions in the city itself. They can be viewed in one day. The main value is natural areas. The city, like a hundred years ago, is one of the best vacation spots in the Leningrad region. From St. Petersburg there is an electric train from the Finlyandsky Station (Irinovskoe direction), minibuses from the Ladozhskaya and Ploshchad Lenina metro stations.

The city's attractions.

Since, it turns out, the city has quite a long and rich history, it, of course, has its own attractions: museums, architectural monuments and simply memorable places.

For example, in close proximity to the city there is the Priyutino estate - once its owner, A.N. Olenin, head of the Russian Academy of Arts, hosted the greatest representatives of our culture. Krylov, Venetsianov, Bryullov, Pushkin were here.

Now a museum exhibition is open here, and filmmakers often use the estate itself as a backdrop for filming. Vsevolozhsky’s manor house with a park has been preserved, only now it houses an agricultural technical school.

And the oldest existing building in the city is a cheese factory built in 1774, which was built on the initiative of the already mentioned Baron I. Yu. Fridriks.

There are also amazing ancient temples preserved in the city. The Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands and the Holy Trinity Church, for example, are considered architectural monuments of federal significance, and the Church of the Holy Trinity is a cultural and historical monument.

Relatively recently, several new churches were built: the Orthodox Church of St. Panteleimon (1996), the Orthodox Church of Saints Constantine and Helen (2001) and others.

There are several museums here: “Vsevolozhsk during the Siege”, the Museum of the History of Automobile Transport, and even the “Cat Museum”. Many memorials: “Rumbolovskaya Mountain” (part of the “Green Belt of Glory” monument complex), a monument to internationalist soldiers, liquidators of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident, soldiers who died in Chechnya, Heroes of the Second World War, the hero car - the “lorry”.

History of Vsevolozhsk in modern times

Vsevolozhsk officially became a city not so long ago - in 1963. In essence, this is a huge village, a conglomerate of ancient wooden and stone buildings, disfigured here and there by inclusions of Soviet five-story buildings, stalls and shops. In addition, there is a railway running right through the city. There are three stations in the city: Berngardovka, Vsevolozhskaya and Melnichny Ruchey (the old station building at Vsevolozhskaya is still preserved, but, despite the sign “Monument of Wooden Architecture of the 19th Century,” it is in terrible condition).

On the territory of the manor’s estate there are the Vsevolozhsk Agricultural College and an entire residential microdistrict. Of the original buildings of the estate, only a dilapidated stable, built of cobblestones (!), has survived.

Traces of the past are still visible: everywhere between the houses and along the city streets there are rows of spruce and pine trees; There are islands of birch, oak, and maple trees—the remains of someone’s backyard parks. Some architectural fragments of the “previous era” have also been preserved - for example, the house of the merchant Khomyakov on Station Square or the house of the merchant Sveshnikov; Not far from this place, the first Empire cinema was opened in 1912; in Soviet times there was a thrift store there.

Epic legend of Vsevolozhsk

Back in 977, Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich (the future Vladimir the Saint, who baptized Rus', aka the epic Vladimir the Red Sun) passed through these places. He walked (or rather, fled) with a small squad to Norway, to his ally - Jarl Hakon the Mighty, and he was then only about eighteen. In Norway and Sweden, Vladimir (together with the Novgorod governor Dobrynya) recruited a mercenary army and exactly three years later they triumphantly returned to Novgorod (again through the Ryabova manor or, in Finnish, Rääpüvä, as the Swedish chronicles also mention) . The further adventures of the prince are of little interest to us (although they are interesting in their own way: for example, the future holy prince lured his brother, Yaropolk, to negotiations, where two Varangians “raised him with swords under their bosoms,” and Vladimir took his brother’s pregnant wife, a former Greek nun into concubines). Much more interesting for us are the accomplishments of Vladimir’s son, Yaroslav the Wise, who in 1019 married the daughter of the Swedish king Olaf, Ingegerda. As a wedding gift from her husband, the Swede received possession of the “city of Aldeigaborg” (Old Ladoga) with adjacent lands, which have since received the name Ingria. It is easy to guess that the “Ryabov Manor” from the Swedish chronicles was included in the prince’s dowry (although the Russians did not seriously lay claim to these lands in those years).

Why is a small town attractive for living?

The city of Vsevolozhsk is the regional center of the Vsevolozhsk region, a small quiet city in the North-West of the Leningrad region. This is probably the most underrated suburb of St. Petersburg.

And it’s completely in vain, because it is fully worthy of the closest attention of those who are actively looking for new housing.

After all, this nice green city is located on the Karelian Isthmus, in the most picturesque places, surrounded by coniferous forests and clean lakes. And all this is very close to St. Petersburg, just about 7 kilometers away. But housing prices here compare favorably with those in St. Petersburg.

Unique nature

Whatever program you plan for yourself, you can be sure that Vsevolozhsk, the sights of which we looked at, will surprise you no less than any large city in Russia. Every person here will find something for themselves, something that is close to their heart. In addition to museums, memorials and temples, these places have incredibly beautiful nature, which you are unlikely to find anywhere else. The variety of colors that Vsevolozhsk is rich in is simply amazing. The attractions, the list of which is presented in the article, play an important role in this, but they are only part of everything that is so amazing in the city. For this reason, almost everyone who has ever been here wants to come back here again.
