George Bormann's Dacha

George Bormann's Dacha is a two-story wooden villa with ornate Art Nouveau design from the early twentieth century. The house features curved lines and natural motifs in its decoration and sits on Morskaya Street 14 in the village of Komarovo.

The house was built in 1913 when Komarovo was still known by its earlier name Kellomäki and served as a retreat for Russian nobility. The era of its construction was a period when such villas were popular summer homes for wealthy families.

The villa reflects the tastes of pre-revolutionary Russian wealthy families and shows design choices typical of those times. It stands in an area where many similar homes of affluent residents were once built.

The site is located about 45 kilometers northwest of central Saint Petersburg and sits near other historical buildings. The grounds are accessible by public transport, and visitors should remember this is a protected heritage site.

In the same area stood the homes of notable people such as jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé and dancer Mathilde Kschessinska. The proximity to these other villas shows how popular this place was among prominent families.
