Sestroretsk

Sestroretsk lies along the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland, where sandy Baltic beaches and pine woodland meet the low ground between the coast and Lake Sestroretsky Razliv. Now within Saint Petersburg’s Kurortny District, it retains the atmosphere of a resort town while remaining connected to the metropolis by rail. Its industrial past centres on the Sestroretsk Arms Factory, established on Peter the Great’s orders in the early 18th century. Near the lake, the Leninsky Shalash memorial recalls Vladimir Lenin’s concealment here in 1917.
