New Holland Island, Cultural island in Admiralteysky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The triangular artificial island features historic red brick architecture, canals, and green spaces within Saint Petersburg's central district.
The island emerged in 1719 through the connection of the Kryukov and Admiralty Canals to the Moika River, serving as Russia's first military port.
The transformed space now hosts art exhibitions, concerts, film screenings, and cultural festivals throughout different seasons of the year.
Visitors access the island from the Admiralteysky Canal Embankment, with facilities including restaurants, cafes, and outdoor recreational areas.
The island maintains its original naval testing basin from 1893, which engineers used for testing ship models until 1908.
