New Holland Basin, Artificial pond in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The New Holland Basin features water-filled channels connected to the Moika River and Neva River through the Kryukov and Admiralty Canals.
Created in 1719 during the establishment of New Holland Island, the basin served as a military port facility for the Russian Navy until 2004.
The New Holland Basin forms an essential component of Saint Petersburg's naval architecture, surrounded by red brick buildings and granite columns.
Visitors can reach the basin using public transportation, with multiple bus and metro stations within walking distance of the New Holland Island entrance.
The basin's rectangular shape and stone embankments reflect the technical precision of 18th-century Russian engineering and maritime construction methods.
