Messmacher Dacha, Wooden dacha in Shuvalovsky Park, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
This yellow timber mansion features gothic elements with pointed towers, decorative window frames, and wrought-iron gratings displaying the GM monogram.
Architect Maximilian Messmacher designed and constructed this residence in 1902 for his brother Georg, a prominent Saint Petersburg lawyer.
The dacha exemplifies the regional architectural heritage of Russia, demonstrating the adaptation of Gothic design elements to traditional wooden construction methods.
Located near Parnas metro station, this G-shaped structure occupies 413 square meters on a 359-square-meter plot within the historical Shuvalovsky Park.
In 2020, makeup artist Rada Russkikh purchased this abandoned building at a state auction for 5.63 million rubles to transform it into a public space.
