A wedding palace will be built on the Rozhok Peninsula in St. Petersburg. It will block the view of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.
"For its 320th birthday, St. Petersburg received a unique gift: construction has begun on a Wedding Palace on a peninsula in line with Tallinskaya Street (popularly known as the Horn). It will block the view of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra, disrupt the symmetry of a cultural heritage site—the buildings on Malo-Okhtinsky Prospekt—and disfigure St. Petersburg's main landmark—the open space of the Neva. The southern part of Malo-Okhtinskaya Embankment will be transformed into a two-sided street.", — wrote to the editor NotMoscow reader from St. Petersburg Julia.
According to her, residents Malaya Okhta For several years, they have been trying to challenge the construction permit in court. In April, the court ruled that the Neva River shoreline was established illegally in 2018-21, making construction impossible, as the shoreline falls within the boundaries of the construction site. Nevertheless, on City Day, construction equipment arrived on the peninsula and work began.
