Arrival in Vyborg.
12:00 Visit to Castle Island, where the medieval knightly Vyborg Castle is located.
Vyborg Castle is a symbol of the city, its heart and core. It was from him that the difficult history of the city and people began, and all roads in Vyborg lead to the castle. Is that all? Was there a secret passage? Where is the Matveev hole? Why was Peter the Fool 1 nicknamed the "Vyborg Beard"? Who lived in the castle? And kings, and servants, and military men, and even prisoners.
Vyborg Castle will be 732 years old in 2025. We are greeted by the following witnesses of the legend of the deep antiquity: castle towers: the tallest in South Karelia — the tower of St. Olaf, the most unusual with a heavenly name; artifacts of maritime archaeology — a Swedish anchor and cannon from 1790; real medieval walls in a cozy courtyard. And each of us can witness a different, museum and cultural-historical life of the ancient castle.
