Zelenogradsk, essentially is a small and cozy resort town on the Baltic Sea. The city is quite popular among holidaymakers over the past two centuries. If you believe historical data, Zelenogradsk claims the title of the oldest city on the Baltic coast. The fact is that in place where Zelenogradsk is now located in one thousand two hundred and fifty second year, there was a small village, the main inhabitants of which were fishermen. The city began to grow from one single inn at the thirteenth century and in a short time, turned into a village.Transformation from the village of Fishermen to the prosperous resort, the city of Zelenogradsk began with one thousand eight hundred and sixteenth years. In just three decades, the city has increased boarding houses and sanatoriums, and one thousand eight hundred forty-fourth year, he was declared the royal resort. How could you miss this city and not look at him with a rapid eye? My spouse just, well, I could not afford to drive by him. We stayed here, just a couple of days, but we were enough for us to make certain individual conclusions. The town is very pleasant and carefree, like all the resort towns of this type. Prices here, as at any resort, are somewhat overestimated, sometimes even too high - this concerns accommodation in hotels. We decided not to remove the room at the hotel and overpay the crazy money, so safely accommodated in the private sector in the beautiful woman of faith. In the sea we focused on just once, because the water in June has not yet managed to warm up and was pretty cool. But we are pleased to, inspected all the interesting places and met the sights of Zelenograd. Here is the attractions, I will write now.
Museum "Murarium" . The museum is located on Saratovskaya Street. A very unusual place was chosen for its placement, but let's go about everything in order. What do you think is presented as an exposure in this museum? I give a set! Carefully read the name. The museum presents an exhibition, rare breeds of cats. The discovery of this is not a completely ordinary museum, it took place not so long ago, in two thousand and twelve. The tower in which the museum itself is located in one thousand nine hundred and fifth year in the eclectic style. The tower is quite high, since its height is forty-meters. Such structures, in Zelenogradsk are not uncommon and they give it a particular highlight. Since the tower does not boast of her young age, it is quite natural that attempts to have been repeated were repeatedly taken, they were especially active in Soviet times. In the two thousandth year, the dome of the tower came to the destruction state and represented for residents in the district, real danger. However, in this case, they did not hurry with recovery. Restoration work, began only in two thousand and sixth year, and ended only six years later, in two thousand and twelve. During restoration work, it was possible to maintain all the main elements, replaced only brickwork. At the place where the tank had once been, installed and equipped the viewing platform at a height of twenty-six meters. It would seem that the usual tower, which is here, and in fact, as you can see, there are interesting events in her life.
Zelenogradsky Promenade . On the boardwalk, there is a pier, which is one hundred fifty meters goes to the sea. This place is very popular both among holidaymakers and local residents. Having done a walk on the promenade in the early morning, you charge the cheerful energy, and walking here on the evening dawn, get rid of fatigue, which has accumulated over the whole day. Promenade has an age not known to me, but we were able to find out that in two thousand ninth year restoration work was carried out here, since the enclosing structures in the opinion of local authorities were not entirely comfortable and safe. Recovery work is carried out now, but they are not striking, that is, there is no large-scale construction, and so on the little things. For example, when we were with my spouse here, they saw only a couple of workers, but they argued about something with each other, and what they did it specifically, we did not see here.
Water tower . This is perhaps the brightest and memorable attraction of Zelenogradsk, of course after those that I have described. Built the water tower, was one thousand nine hundred and fourth year. For decades, this water tower has provided the delivery of water to the cranks of citizens. One thousand nine hundred and forty-six year, the plumbing system was modernized, and the water tower is closed due to the urgency. Since she is quite old and it can be called a historical monument, then one thousand nine hundred and ninety year by order of local authorities, the tower was renovated. Now, the tower is open to visitors and is used as an observation deck, to get to which it is possible on the elevator.
Pharmacy "Adler" . Pharmacy building, is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It is built of a brick at the beginning of the last century, and has two floors. Until one thousand nine hundred and thirty-fourth year, she belonged to a respected resident of the city, the doctor Ernsta Vreshinsky. Soviet times, stood out by their practicality, because in the pharmacy building, they placed or more correctly, equipped a hostel. Now, on the first floor of this building, the store works, and the rest of the rest is given under elite housing. The territory adjacent to the structure is surrounded by a high fence of stone.
The building has been preserved as well that you can even see the name of the pharmacy on the facade. The street at which this amazing landmark is located is paved with gray tiles. In general, I consider it wonderful that it is possible to save these particles of history. By the way, in Zelenogradsk, quite a few buildings that are built in the German style in the past and by last centuries, so Pharmacy is not the only structure of this kind.
