St. Hyacinth's Church, Vyborg

St. Hyacinth's Church is a Gothic brick church building that now functions as a museum and art gallery in the Linnoitus district. The structure displays typical Gothic features with decorative wrought iron elements that convey a sense of its original importance.

The building was constructed in the 16th century as a noble residence and received Roman Catholic church status in 1802. It later transformed for different purposes, remaining a testament to the complex architectural history of the city.

Today the building hosts art exhibitions and serves as a creative space while maintaining traces of its religious past in the architecture. Visitors can observe how the structure has been adapted for different purposes over time.

The building contains exhibition rooms with historical artifacts and allows visitors to explore different periods at their own pace. Access is straightforward from the main street and touring the spaces is self-guided throughout.

A wooden Franciscan monastery structure originally occupied this site in the 15th century before the current stone building was erected. This predecessor shaped the continuity of the location as a sacred and later cultural space.
