Vyborg provincial government building

The provincial government building features symmetrical facades, formal design elements, and strict architectural proportions following neoclassical principles of the 18th century.

The structure, completed in 1793 under the direction of architect Johan E. Johansson, represents the administrative power during Catherine the Great's reign in Russia.

The building demonstrates the influence of European architectural trends on Russian administrative structures during the late 18th century imperial period.

Located on Krepostnaya Street, the provincial government building maintains its status as a regional cultural heritage site open to visitors throughout the year.

The building survived multiple territorial changes between Finland and Russia, retaining its original architectural features despite the complex political history of Vyborg.
