House of Auguste de Montferrand, Architectural landmark at Moika River Embankment 86-88, Saint Petersburg, Russia

The House of Montferrand exhibits neoclassical architectural elements with a prominent balcony shaped like a lantern on its left facade section.

French architect Auguste de Montferrand acquired this residence in the 1820s and owned it until 1858 while working on Saint Isaac's Cathedral construction.

The mansion contained three halls and fifteen rooms featuring ornate ceilings, carved furniture, and fireplaces that reflected the refined tastes of 19th-century nobility.

The building now functions as part of a larger complex, with only the left section representing the original House of Montferrand structure.

During Montferrand's lifetime, the courtyard housed a private museum displaying his collection of classical art and architectural elements.
