Broglie Obelisk, Neoclassical obelisk in Monrepos Park, Vyborg, Russia.

The marble Broglie Obelisk rises from the grounds of Monrepos Park, featuring a pyramidal top and symmetrical proportions characteristic of neoclassical monuments.

Architect Charles Heathcote Tatham designed this monument in 1827 during the Russian Empire period to honor the influential Broglie family's presence in the region.

The obelisk stands as a federal cultural heritage site, representing the architectural preferences and social structures of 19th-century Russian aristocracy.

Visitors can reach the obelisk through the marked paths of Monrepos Park, which offers additional recreational facilities and natural landscapes.

The monument incorporates local materials in its construction, creating a connection between the neoclassical design and the regional geological resources.
