Lakhta, Saint Petersburg, Historical district in Saint Petersburg, Russia

Located on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, Lakhta features traditional wooden houses scattered along narrow streets near modern glass buildings.

The first written record of Lakhta village appears in the 1500 census book of Vodskaya Pyatina, listing ten households within the Orekhovskiy district.

The Lakhta Lawn Tennis Club, established in 1888, marked a significant milestone as the first tennis organization in Russia's sports history.

The area connects to central Saint Petersburg through multiple bus routes and provides direct access to the Gulf of Finland coastal paths.

White rocks discovered in the 1860s near the Transparent Bridge served as construction materials for many early buildings in the district.
