Customs and warehouse, Vyborg

The Customs and Warehouse building in Vyborg is a port structure with Renaissance Revival architecture featuring symmetrical facades, detailed stonework, arched windows, and classical doorways. The structure sits at the Port of Vyborg entrance and combines practical functions with decorative architectural details.

The building was designed by architect Brynolf Blomqvist and completed in 1898 to support growing trade operations at the Port of Vyborg. The structure emerged during a period of economic expansion and quickly became a key part of the port's infrastructure.

The building shows how late 1800s designers mixed Italian classical forms with Russian design traditions. Visitors can see this blend in the detailed stonework and classical features that are still visible today.

The building sits directly at the port and is within walking distance from the town center. Visitors can admire the exterior freely, though access to the interior may be limited since it still functions as an active facility.

The building was designed by a Swedish architect, reflecting Vyborg's long connection with Scandinavia. This Nordic influence appears in the design details and construction methods used.
