Vyborg, Medieval fortress town in Leningrad Oblast, Russia.
The stone castle with an octagonal tower stands on a small island connected to the mainland by bridges over the Baltic Sea inlet.
Founded in 1293 by the Swedish marshal Torkel Knutsson, Vyborg remained under Swedish rule until Peter the Great captured it during the Great Northern War.
The Market Hall, constructed in 1905, displays granite decorations and modern architecture, representing Finnish influence during the early 20th century.
Regular trains connect Vyborg with Saint Petersburg in two hours, making it suitable for day trips from Russia's northern capital.
The Alvar Aalto Library, built in 1935, features innovative architectural solutions with undulating wooden ceilings and natural light through circular skylights.
