Vietinghoff house, Neoclassical museum on Moyka River Embankment, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Vietinghoff house is a three-story Neoclassical building with symmetrical windows and ornamental details along the Moyka River Embankment at number 104. The elegant facade displays typical 18th-century features with carefully designed entrance elements and a balanced arrangement of window rows.
State Councillor Anisim Maslov originally owned the property before Aleksei Musin-Pushkin purchased it in 1784 and carried out extensive modifications. These renovations significantly altered the building's appearance and shaped how it looks today.
The house takes its name from a family that lived here and shaped its identity. You can see today how the rooms reflect the life of its inhabitants and what role such residences played in the social life of the city.
The house is open from Tuesday through Sunday, and guided tours are available in Russian and English by advance request. Booking ahead is helpful if you want to join a guided tour.
The house served as a workplace for renowned entomologist Grigory Grum-Grshimailo, who conducted his research here. This scientific connection gives the building significance beyond its architectural qualities.
