Peter the Great House

Peter the Great House is a three-story half-timbered building with a bronze plaque on its facade showing the Russian tsar. The structure displays typical spa-era architecture found throughout the town.

Construction took place between 1706 and 1709, followed by significant renovations in the late 1800s and early 1900s that updated the building. These improvements adapted the house to changing needs over time.

The building served as a social hub in the 1900s, housing a restaurant and cinema cafe where locals and visitors gathered for food and entertainment.

The building is within easy reach of the town center and accessible by local buses with a short walk from the nearest stop. The location makes it convenient to visit while exploring the main attractions nearby.

A bronze plaque commemorates a legend that Tsar Peter the Great helped stonemasons build another local structure during his time in the region. This unexpected historical link connects the house to a broader story of the town.
