Red Square — the Main Square in the Town

Other places

The main square in Vyborg is named Red Square like in Moscow. Long ago it was called a Red Well Square, because there was a spring from which the townspeople took water, and it was named Red in the late XVI century when the minions of the dethroned monarch Sigismund were executed next to it.

In the twentieth century, there was a market trade on the square, and that very red well had been filled up long ago. A monument to Lenin, the highest monument in the town, was erected here in 1957. After all, the leader of the world proletariat used to visit Vyborg many times, and there is even his house-museum in the town. The six-meter figure of Lenin rises on a pedestal made of grey granite. Elements of its ensemble of the late XIX century’s design have been preserved on the Red Square. This is a Pharmacy Building in the style of national romanticism, which still houses a pharmacy, and a neo-renaissance stone club, which is occupied by various organizations. The entrance to the square on both sides is decorated with residential buildings with turrets in the Northern Art Nouveau style. Nowadays the Red Square is used to hold the main holidays of Vyborg, including the Victory Day on May 9.
