Bolshoy Dom, Government building in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The six-story constructivist building on Liteyny Avenue features a symmetrical facade with alternating vertical pylons and horizontal window lines.

The structure, completed in 1932 by architect Noi Trotsky, replaced the District Court building that burned during the February Revolution of 1917.

The building represents a departure from Saint Petersburg's classical architecture, marking the first structure permitted to exceed the Winter Palace height restriction.

The administrative complex contains multiple specialized facilities, including a conference hall, library, bomb shelter, and sports center spread across its floors.

Local residents created numerous stories about underground levels matching the above-ground floors, though these tales remain unconfirmed.

Location: Saint Petersburg

Inception: 1931

Architects: Noi Trotsky, Aleksandr Gegello, Andrei Ol

Architectural style: constructivism
