Северная корона, Abandoned hotel construction on Karpovka River embankment, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Northern Crown Hotel stood as an unfinished 12-story brutalist structure with 247 planned rooms near the Petrogradsky district of Saint Petersburg.
Construction of the hotel began in 1988 under the USSR State Committee for Tourism but halted after the Soviet Union dissolved, leading to multiple ownership changes.
The building design by architects Anatoly Pribulsky and Mark Reinberg represented late Soviet architectural approaches with its concrete brutalist style.
The project required over 100 million US dollars in investments before its eventual demolition between 2019 and 2020 to make way for residential development.
During the 1990s, the abandoned construction site recorded more than 40 accidents, creating local legends about the building's unfortunate destiny.
