Невские бани

Saint Petersburg, Russia

No longer standing

Demolished or destroyed.

The Nevskie Bani was a Soviet Modernist bathhouse located in Saint Petersburg, Russia, that no longer stands. Built during the era when the Soviet Union was advancing distinctive architectural approaches, the structure exemplified the streamlined aesthetic principles characteristic of Modernism in the mid-twentieth century. As a public bathhouse—a building type with deep roots in Russian urban life—it served the practical needs of the city's residents while embodying the forward-looking design ideals of its period. The structure has since been destroyed.
