Dacha Gausvald, Art Nouveau dacha on Stone Island, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The mansion features asymmetrical architectural elements, large windows, intricate wooden details, and a complex roof structure with multiple slopes and gables.
Built in 1898 for Evgenia Gausvald, the wife of a master baker, this residence was designed by architects Vladimir Chagin and Vasily Schöne.
The dacha represents the late 19th-century Russian upper-class summer residence tradition, combining living spaces with elaborate social gathering areas.
Visitors can arrange guided tours of the mansion by contacting the property management office at least two days before the intended visit date.
The building served as a filming location for the Soviet adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, representing Irene Adler's house in the television series.
