Sea channel in Lomonosov
Sea channel in Lomonosov, Canal and cultural heritage site in Lomonosov, Russia.
The Sea Channel stretches through Lomonosov with engineered pools and bucket systems, connecting waterways in the Petrodvortsovy District of Saint Petersburg.
Engineer Abram Petrovich Gannibal directed the construction of this waterway between 1719 and 1761, demonstrating the technical capabilities of Russian engineering.
The Russian government formally designated the Sea Channel as a federal cultural heritage site in 2001, recognizing its architectural and historical value.
Visitors can access the canal along Parokhodnaya Street, north of the Lower Garden, with multiple viewpoints available throughout its length.
The canal incorporates two distinct pool systems and maintains its original 18th-century engineering features, reflecting the maritime infrastructure of Imperial Russia.
