Vyborg fire station

Vyborg, Russia

Exterior only

Visible from the street; the inside is private.

Built in 1906 in Vyborg, this fire station is an early example of National Romantic architecture designed by Brynolf Blomqvist. The style, which drew inspiration from medieval and vernacular traditions, gives the utilitarian structure distinctive character befitting its prominent civic role. Now recognized as a regional cultural heritage site in Russia, the building remains an architectural landmark in the city, testifying to the ambitious public architecture of early-twentieth-century Vyborg.
