The Cabin of Peter the Great
The wooden summer house of the Russian tsar dating from 1703. Enclosed within a more recent protective brick pavilion (so what one sees from the outside is not the original construction), it is the oldest building in the city, hosting a small museum. The quay in front of the cabin is decorated with two authentic Chinese stone lions brought from Jilin City in 1907.
Why it is worth a visit
The oldest building in Saint Petersburg, a unique piece of living history protected by a later brick pavilion.
