Svetlogorsk, Baltic Sea resort town in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia
The town extends along the Baltic Sea coastline with preserved German villas, modern promenades, and pine forests surrounding residential neighborhoods.
Founded in 1258 as Ruse-moter by Sambian fishermen, the settlement evolved into a German spa town named Rauschen until 1947 when it became Svetlogorsk.
The Water Tower, designed by architect Otto-Walter Kukuk, stands as a central monument representing the architectural heritage of the early 20th century.
A cable car system connects the beach area with the upper town section, providing transportation across the 40-meter elevation difference.
Svetlogorsk holds the distinction of being the sole Russian member of Cittaslow, an international network promoting quality of life in smaller cities.
