Дом_Раскольникова, Literary building in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The Raskolnikov house is an early 19th-century four-story building at the intersection of Grazhdanskaya Street and Stolyarny Lane, named after a literary character. Its exterior features typical elements of classicism, while markers on the walls commemorate historical Neva floods.

The building was erected in 1831 by architect Yegor Zollikofer in the classicist style, at the corner of Grazhdanskaya Street and Stolyarny Lane. It was originally five storeys high; a major reconstruction in 1970 removed the semi-basement and reduced it to four storeys. Two marble plaques on the wall mark the water level of the 1824 Neva flood, before the present building existed.

Researchers of Dostoevsky's work hold that Rodion Raskolnikov, the main character of Crime and Punishment, rented a room here from the landlady whose flat was on the fourth floor. On 7 July 1999 a bronze and granite wall composition by sculptor Ye. N. Rotanov and architect V. I. Novosadyuk was unveiled at the corner, 165 cm high, with a text by D. S. Likhachev and D. A. Granin.

The commemorative plaque and relief from 1999 are located at the corner of the building facing Stolyarny Lane and are easily visible from the sidewalk. Visitors can view the facade from outside at any time, as the house is residential and the interior is not open to the public.

Two marble plaques on the wall record the water level of the 1824 flood, before the present building existed: one reads "Вышина воды 7: Ноября 1824", the other repeats it in German. The bronze-and-granite relief at the corner, 165 cm high, was unveiled on 7 July 1999, with a text by Dmitry Likhachov and Daniil Granin.
