The restoration of St. Olaf’s Tower has been completed in Vyborg Castle, and now it welcomes visitors again.
The tower opened to tourists on June 11. Visitors will enjoy a panoramic view of the city from a height of 50 meters.
Restoration work began in the spring of 2021 and included interior decoration, installation of a view elevator and restoration of historic brickwork. Spiral staircases were also expanded, loopholes and vaults were opened, and the walls and stairs were illuminated.
The St. Olaf Tower is a key element of Vyborg Castle, built by the Swedes in 1293 and has the status of a cultural heritage site of federal significance.
