Matisov Canal

The Matisov Canal is a waterway in the Krasnoselsky District of Saint Petersburg that connects several urban water routes. The passage runs through the densely developed neighborhood and serves mainly the local transportation and drainage system today.

The canal was built around 1800 when Saint Petersburg expanded its infrastructure for growing ship traffic. These early water engineering works continue to shape the city's system today.

The canal holds status as a regional cultural heritage site, documented in the Russian preservation registry under code 781711301530005.

The canal can be accessed from multiple points and viewed from the surrounding banks on foot. The flat terrain nearby makes it easy to explore the route and find different viewpoints.

The canal flows directly into the Duderhof Channel, forming part of an intricate water management system that characterizes Saint Petersburg's geography.
