Monrepos park walking tour 🚶🏼‍♂️Vyborg 🗝 4K Russia

Monrepos (translated from the French Mon Repos — "my rest") is a rocky landscape park on the shore of the Protective Bay of the Vyborg Bay, on the island of Tverdysh in the northern part of the city of Vyborg in the Leningrad region. The official name is the State Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum—Reserve "Monrepos Park".

Monrepos Park is located near Vyborg on the coast of the Protective Bay of Vyborg Bay in the northwestern part of Tverdysh Island. The area of the park is 161.4371 hectares .

The historical core of the museum-reserve is the estate and park ensemble of the late XVIII - early XIX centuries. It includes monuments of wooden architecture of classicism (the main manor house and Library wing) and a landscape rock park of romantic style — a unique monument of landscape art, which was created by architects D. Martinelli, O. Montferrand, T. de Thomon, A. Stackenschneider, C. H. Tatham [en] (Eng. Charles Heathcote Tatham), artists Ya. Mettenleiter and P. Gonzago, sculptors I. Takanen, G. Borup[fi] (fin. Gotthelf Borup), garden masters I. Biesterfeld and Zweiger.

The historical part of the park organically turns into a forest park — a zone of valuable natural landscape, which is located in a special physical and geographical region - Fennoscandia. This territory consists of two large plots adjacent to the historical core of the park from the south and north. It is characterized by unique Ice Age stone ridges of rapakivi granites (Karel. rapakivi — "rotten stone"), in some areas reaching a height of 20 m.
