An insightful guide into the unique architectural heritage and cultural history of Vyborg, a historic town situated close to the border between Russia and Finland on the Baltic Sea. Attractions include one of the few medieval castles of north-eastern Europe as well as the world-famous Functionalist municipal library designed by the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. This book surpasses the conventional travel guide, as it explores the interplay between architecture and the town’s dramatic history, which is intimately connected with that of Finland and Sweden.
