Karelian Isthmus Must-Sees

The Karelian Isthmus preserves a complex history through its diverse architecture and strategic fortifications. Vyborg serves as a primary hub, featuring the 16th-century Swedish Round Tower, the Gothic St. Hyacinth's Church, and Alvar Aalto’s functionalist library. The region's military heritage is evident in the medieval Korela Fortress in Priozersk and the island-based Oreshek Fortress on Lake Ladoga. Nature and design converge at Monrepos, an English landscape park characterized by granite cliffs and coastal views along the Vyborg Bay.
