The Vyborg skerries are called the coast of the Gulf of Finland, together with numerous islands (including the Vyborg Bay), stretching from Primorsk to the Russian-Finnish border. The word "skerries" (skar) is of Swedish origin. So called bizarrely indented coastline seas or lakes with groups of small rocky islands. Skerries are typical for Sweden, Finland and in general for the Scandinavian countries.

The Vyborg Bay is a part of the Gulf of Finland, as if intruded deep into the mainland. Through the Saimaa Canal, the waters of the bay communicate with the system of inland lakes of neighboring Suomi. The water here is less salty than in the Gulf of Finland: it is diluted by numerous fresh springs. The water area of ​​the Vyborg Bay is replete with islands. There are so large that entire settlements can easily be placed on them - such, for example, is the island of Tverdysh, on which part of Vyborg is located. Many and small, no more than ten meters in length. Vyborg Bay is a zone of intensive navigation, and besides, it is popular with owners of small boats: yachts and boats. For twenty years now, the international regatta "Sails of Vyborg" has been held in the waters of the bay. Large vessels bound for Vyborgsky sea ​​port, as well as to the ports of Vysotsk and Primorsk, one has to move along a very difficult fairway, maneuvering between numerous islands.

From Vyborg to Primorsk

Recently, Vyborg, the only city in Russia with preserved medieval architecture and unique monuments of northern modernity, has become the last outpost free visit in the North-West of the region: it is worth crossing the Saimaa Canal, and the border zone begins. During the years of perestroika, the city gained a lot, but also lost a lot. Favorites are already trampled here tourist routes, but safety historical monuments leaves much to be desired. Vyborg is still a place of pilgrimage for residents from neighboring Finland.

Vyborg skerries seem to divide Vyborg into two almost equal parts: the city is the “deepest” point of the Vyborg Bay. To the west, the least developed coastal areas stretch to the very border. And from the ancient Viipuri to Primorsk, the line of Vyborg skerries is called the Gold Coast. This part of the coast has such a pathetic name not only because there are stunning landscapes and unexpected landscapes. At present, the land of the Golden Coast is one of the most demanded in the suburban housing construction market in the Vyborgsky district. And once it was a strip of continuous children's health resorts and sanatoriums.

If you move from Vyborg towards Primorsk, then on the way you will meet settlements that had a variety of “specializations” in Soviet times that have survived to this day. Sokolinsky has a wonderful tuberculosis sanatorium and dachas for artists. Zimino - at first a sanatorium zone of the proletarians of Vyborgsky shipyard, then became just a sanatorium-type boarding house. A local attraction is the famous oriental-style gazebo for meditation by Kuzmich from Rogozhkin's "Peculiarities of the National Hunt".

Vysotsk is a city of sea border guards, a traditional plein air of a children's art school and the last shelter of Stanislav Rostotsky. By the way, the updated drakkars from the film “And Trees Grow on Stones” along with the dominant of St. Olaf, the Round, the Clock Tower and the Town Hall Tower are still calling card Vyborg. Uuransaari Island (now Vysotsky Island) was recaptured by Peter I during the Great Northern War. By order of the emperor, the construction of fortifications began here, the remains of which have survived to this day. The city, where a little less than two thousand inhabitants, until 1918 was better known as Trongsund (Swedish: Trangsund). During the twenty years of Finnish independence, it was renamed Uuras (Fin. Uuras).

Sovetsky settlement is the first raider-perestroika redistribution at the Vyborgskaya cellulose plant and a business berth for LUKOIL. By the way, the plant itself was built by the Finns in the late twenties of the last century. When its reconstruction was required already in post-Soviet times, the Finns and Swedes again came to the rescue.

Landyshevka (under the Finns Ala Kiryola) is a pioneer summer and the estate of a branch of the famous Nobels. Glebychevo and Pribylovo (fin. Makslahti) - a ceramic factory and the legendary Guards Helicopter Regiment of the Russian Air Force. Cosmonaut German Titov served here and the historian and dissident Roy Medvedev taught there for six years. In the area of ​​Glebychev and further to Primorsk, the fortifications of the Mannerheim Line have been perfectly preserved.

And finally, Primorsk (formerly Finnish Koivisto and Swedish Björke; all names are translated the same way: "Birch") - a scientific base, an oil terminal (the end point of the Baltic pipeline system), a beautiful Lutheran cathedral (now the House of Culture and the Museum of Local Lore), which mysteriously lost multi-registry body. The purchase of an organ for the church in Germany was sponsored by Emperor Nicholas II, who often rested on the nearby Berezovye Islands. One of the legends is connected with the seaside church, according to which, during the offensive of the Soviet sailors, the pastor's daughter chained herself to the bell tower and fired back to the last bullet. And in the early 1990s, a small monument made of local stone appeared next to the temple: a sail and a cross - a memory of all those who died and a sign of reconciliation.

Islanders

Finnish archaeologists who studied the territories of the settlements of Koivisto, Hyarkala (before perestroika there was a wonderful pioneer camp "Olympian"), Manolu, even before the start of the Winter War, found stone axes there, and in modern Yermilovo (near Primorsk) - a stone chopper. The finds have been dated to the Stone Age.

Actually, before the Swedes strengthened on the Gold Coast, Karelians lived on these lands since ancient times. And not only them. The islands and the coast were a real trade crossroads, so trade strongholds were created here, multicultural, ethnically mixed settlements were formed. So the current Primorsk began as a trading settlement of Berezovsky. The first chronicle mention dates back to 1268. But even earlier, on the small island of Ravitsa (in the lane from Karelian Nutritious), located in the strait somewhat to the south, there was a medieval marketplace. From the coast to the island, residents delivered food in exchange for handicrafts brought by shipbuilders. Warehouses of Novgorodians, Karelians and merchants of the Hanseatic League were built on numerous islands. And only later from the islands did the merchants move ashore.

In the XIV century, fishermen and sailors became the owners of the islands. Most major islands hosted the farmers. There were island communities, villages, farms and even small towns. By the middle of the 20th century, almost all habitable islands were inhabited. After all, it was natural for the Finns to use various watercraft as public and personal transport: boats, boats, steamboats.

Until now, on the islands of the Vyborg Bay, one can find the remains of military fortifications, the foundations of old buildings, stone roads, solid piers. Due to the lack of knowledge, the insular part of the bay attracts a huge number of local history tourists. The local population has preserved the tradition of gathering autumn gifts on the islands - mushrooms and berries. In addition, the islands attract lovers of sea travel on boats or yachts. And of course, the Vyborg skerries are a place of pilgrimage for fishermen. IN summer period here they catch pike, pike perch, bream, perch, roach, rudd, eel. In winter, burbot and smelt appear. The lucky ones come across Baltic salmon.

One should take into account the special way of life that has developed on the lands of the Swedish crown. The fact is that the northern Europeans never had the final enslavement of the peasants, as in the Russian Empire. The feudal lords were content with dues and other duties; at the same time, peasants and ordinary people remained free people and often acquired land themselves, becoming landowners. Hence such a popular farming way of life, which has developed not only on the mainland of the Karelian Isthmus, but also on the islands.

Vyborg estates

As a result of the Northern War of 1700-1721, the territory of the Karelian Isthmus was annexed to Russia. In 1811, the Vyborg Governorate became part of the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland. Proximity to the capital of the empire left its mark on the composition of landowners, the appearance, life and life of Vyborg estates. Representatives of the highest nobility of the Russian Empire and those close to the imperial court became their owners. In the 18th century, new manor construction began, which adopted the motif of expensive decors and interiors of St. Petersburg. A striking example is the estate of Mon Repos. Unlike those who settled in the rich and luxurious south, the Vyborg founders of the "noble nests" were mostly merchants or officers, so luxurious palace and park ensembles not to be found here.

The world of the Vyborg estate was created by the labor of the peasants, and by the end of the 19th century most of the land was already in their ownership.

Mon Repos. Perhaps Mon Repos would have remained a nameless manor, the payment of the monarch to the vassals for diligent service, if not for a number of happy accidents that marked this territory on the shores of the Vyborg Bay. The first owner of Mon Repos after the Victory of Peter the Great was Petr Alekseevich Stupishin, from 1780 he was the governor of Vyborg, holder of the Order of St. Anna I degree. In the administrative subordination of Stupishin was a number of crown estates, the income from which was transferred to the treasury. One of them - the Lille Ladugard estate on the island of Linnansaari Stupishin chose for his summer residence. The territory was cleared of stones and leveled, an access road to the manor house was built, a linden alley was planted, and a dam was erected. Landscaping included draining low-lying meadows, building wells, filling fertile soil, and planting plants. A large amount of construction work was carried out by the soldiers of the local garrison. Several residential buildings were erected, including a manor house, a row outbuildings. But the death of the Vyborg governor interrupted the grandiose arrangement of the family nest.

And the heyday of Mon Repos and its world fame as a unique rocky and romantic park are now forever associated with the name of the Nicolai family. He owes him the name "My Rest" (this is how "Mon Repos" is translated). It should not be forgotten that Mon Repos was never a front park: nevertheless, it was an entourage estate with mowing, cows, pastures, vegetable gardens and greenhouses and a completely rural way of life.

Kaislahti. Kaislahti means "Reed Bay" in Finnish. In the 30s of the 17th century, a German officer, quartermaster Gerhard Leffe received the empty lands of a disabled cavalryman. Then he bought part of the land from local peasants, and a quarter of the village land, which in the Middle Ages belonged to the Dominican monastery, the Vyborg castle and the priest's estate, became his property. Thus a large estate was formed. Then the owner of the estate was a major, whose name is now forgotten. During the Northern War, Russian troops destroyed the estate: it was then that the legend arose about the ghost of an unnamed major, who, with a sword and in a cocked hat, searches for his lost family at night. In subsequent centuries, the estate passed from hand to hand to various military and civil ranks as a reward for service, was given for debts and revived by zealous owners, even visited the residence of Finance Minister Lars Gabriel von Hartmann.

Now only the old birch alley and the ruins of a brick factory, a steam sawmill, a stable and a cowshed remind of the former Kaislahti manor. Since 1948, Kaislahti has become the Soviet village of Popovo.

Sahlgren's estate. On Lodochny Island (formerly called Venajansaari, translated as “Russian”), this estate, built by the famous Vyborg architect Uno Ulberg, is still perfectly preserved, although no one has been involved in its conservation and restoration. Now it is privately owned. It is curious that the Russians are well aware of this red-brick manor-villa: in the Sherlock Holmes TV series The 20th Century Begins, directed by Igor Maslennikov, the manor “played the role” of the lair of the German spy von Bork.

Manor of the Nobels. In 1894, the southern part of Ala Kiryola (now Landyshevka) was acquired by Edla Nobel, the widow of Ludwig Nobel. Ludwig Nobel is a Swedish and Russian engineer, inventor, entrepreneur and philanthropist, older brother and business partner of the famous founder of the Nobel Prize, Alfred Nobel. By the beginning of the 20th century, the Nobel estate was expanded by purchasing several neighboring manors.

The elder Nobel was fluent in five languages, was the founder of the Russian Technical Society, and initiated the introduction of the metric system of measures in Russia. He gave money for research to the Academy of Sciences and the Russian Technical Society, financed the school of railway foremen and the school of workers. After his death, the Branobel Association decided to establish a student scholarship in his name at two St. Petersburg institutes - Mining and Technological. After the death of the widow of Ludwig Nobel, her youngest daughter Marta lived in the estate with her husband, doctor Georg Oleinikov. Opposite, on the island, two hundred meters from the shore, a garden was laid out, later called Doktorsky. There, grapes, peaches and corn were grown in greenhouses.

In the summer of 2010, the great-grandson of the brother of the founder of the Nobel Prize, Pyotr Oleinikov, who came with his wife Anna, visited the estate. Today, the Nobel clan has about 300 people.

Vyborg Bay (Fin. Viipurinlahti, Swede. Viborgska viken) is a bay deeply protruding into the shore in the northern part of the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea. The bay ends at the city of Vyborg in the northernmost part, through the Saimaa Canal, which communicates with the system of inland lakes in Finland. It got its name from the city of Vyborg.
In the waters of the Vyborg Bay there are dozens of islands - both large and small.
The entrance to the bay is blocked by ¾ of the width of the long and narrow peninsula of Kiperort. On the other side of the peninsula, the bay widens greatly towards the southeast and is covered with many islands; in the Tronzund Strait (Finn. Uuras or Swedish. Trangsund - a narrow strait) between the islands of Vysotsky and Krepysh, large ships stop at anchor for loading and unloading, and smaller ones pass to Vyborg itself and further, to the entrance to the Saimaa Canal.
To the west of the Vyborg Bay, a strip of real skerries begins. In the northern part of the bay is the Lohaniemi peninsula.

One of the most romantic trips sailing yacht, hike along the Vyborg Bay. During the trip, you can visit many islands, get acquainted with the history of these beautiful places, see the remains of fortresses and military installations different years. In the waters of the Vyborg Bay there are rarely strong winds, since the numerous islands with their vegetation create natural barriers for it. The water is clear, but slightly salty in taste, you can cook food, but tea and coffee acquires a peculiar taste of sea salt.
The coast of the Gulf of Finland, together with numerous islands, stretching from Primorsk to the Russian-Finnish border, is called the Vyborg skerries. The word "skerries" is of Swedish origin. This is the name of the indented coastline of the sea or lake with groups of small rocky islands. Skerries are characteristic of the Scandinavian countries.

Vyborg Bay is a bay deeply protruding into the shore in the northern part of the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea. It got its name from the city of Vyborg, located in the northernmost part of the bay.
There are a lot of different ancient (and not so) buildings in the bay. let's stop at some of them.

Cape South Spear (Keihasniemi)

Judging by the Finnish map, along the entire northeastern coast of the peninsula, from Cape Keihasniemi itself, now the South Spear, were cut land where numerous buildings were located. The shore is lined with granite, closer to the tip of the cape - a long granite pier. A little to the east, there is a small enclosed harbor, also made of stones, with a small passage for boats. From the pier, steps lead to the shore, where the path goes past the foundations of ruined buildings.

Pier at Cape South Spear (Keihasniemi)

There are decent gaps between the blocks, but in places where they fit snugly, the blocks are fitted along a curved plane.

Closed harbor at Cape South Spear

During the summer period:

Tura Tower on the island of Verholaz (Korkeasaari)

Outwardly, the tower really looks like a classic chess round. Its history is unknown to us. On some maps it is marked as a monument of the XIV century. The location of the windows suggests that perhaps earlier a spiral staircase went up along the inner wall of the tower.
It is clearly seen that the tower has been rebuilt and repaired many times - some seams between the stones are sealed with modern mortar, a concrete platform on metal rails is visible at the top. The stones of the upper tier are fastened with metal brackets.

The ruins of the manor Suur-Merijoki (Suur-Merijoki)

Style under the "Mexican masonry"

Estate foundation. It can be seen that the brick walls were faced with granite.
