Lopukhinsky Garden, Regional cultural heritage garden in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Lopukhinsky Garden is a green space located between Kamennoostrovsky Prospect and the Malaya Nevka River, with ponds scattered throughout and walking paths that wind through wooded sections. The grounds contain several areas with benches and open clearings for strolling.
The land experienced military conflict during the Great Northern War when Russian forces fortified positions against Swedish armies. The transformation into a recreational garden happened later, marking a shift from battlefield to public gathering space.
The garden has served as a gathering place for artistic performances over the decades. Visitors walking through notice how the layout still suggests spaces designed for public gatherings and social moments.
The garden is open daily for visitors and lies near Petrogradskaya and Chernaya Rechka metro stations. Access on foot from surrounding streets is straightforward, with entrance points clearly visible from the main roads.
A wooden two-story villa from the 1800s stands within the garden grounds and once served as a major venue for public events. The building illustrates how nature and cultural activities became intertwined at this location.
