Follenweider's residence, Mansion in Kamenny Island, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Follenweider residence stands on Bolshaya Alley, featuring Art Nouveau architecture with asymmetric forms and medieval-influenced design elements throughout the exterior.
Built between 1904 and 1905 by architect Robert Meltzer for Edward Follenweider, a Swiss tailor who supplied clothing to the Imperial Court of Russia.
The mansion demonstrates the National Romantic movement influences from Finland and Sweden, incorporating local architectural traditions with early 20th-century innovations.
The residence contains preserved interior elements including ornamental plasterwork, marble fireplaces, stained glass windows, and traditional heating stoves from its original construction.
During the Soviet period, the mansion transformed into a sanatorium and later housed the Danish Consulate-General in the 1990s, while serving as a filming location.
