Round Baths, Public bath in Vyborgsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Round Baths is a public bathing facility in Vyborgsky District featuring a striking circular form with constructivist design and geometric patterns on its concrete walls. Inside, bathing areas, massage rooms, and relaxation spaces are arranged across the building with clear functional organization.
Four architects designed and built this structure between 1927 and 1930 as a modernist project in early Soviet times. It later received protection as a regional cultural heritage site, reflecting its importance to the district's architectural history.
The baths serve as a social gathering place where visitors experience traditional Russian bathing customs in comfortable, communal spaces. The separation of male and female sections reflects bathing practices that remain central to how people use this building today.
The facility is located on Karbysheva Street near Muzhestva Square and is accessible by public transportation. Visitors should expect traditional bathing conditions and may want to bring their own towels or bathing supplies.
The building earned its protected status due to its constructivist architecture and historical value as a modernist project. Its circular footprint was an innovative design choice for public buildings during the Soviet era.
