Okhta Reservoir, Regional cultural heritage reservoir in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Okhta Reservoir spreads across the northern district of Saint Petersburg, providing industrial water supply through a system of concrete structures.
The construction of Okhta Dam in 1716 formed this reservoir, initially serving as a freshwater source for the developing city of Saint Petersburg.
The reservoir area preserves traces of ancient settlements, connecting modern Saint Petersburg with centuries of regional water management traditions.
Industrial facilities access the reservoir water through designated points, while regular maintenance work ensures the continued functionality of the dam structure.
Archaeological excavations near the reservoir reveal multilayered settlements dating from the Stone Age through Swedish fortification periods.
