    Small log cabin - allegedly the first building of St. Petersburg. It was built in May 1703 for the Tsar in just 3 days. To protect against weathering, a stone house was built around the blockhouse (which reminds me a little of the Russian matryoshka cult ...) which today also serves as a museum.

    The cabin of Peter the Great (Russian: Domik Petra I or Domik Petra Pervogo or Domik Petra Velikogo) is a small wooden house which was the first St Petersburg "palace" of Tsar Peter the Great.

    The log cabin was constructed in three days in May 1703,[a] by soldiers of the Semyonovskiy Regiment.[1] At that time, the new St. Petersburg was described as "a heap of villages linked together, like some plantation in the West Indies".[2] The date of its construction is now considered to mark the foundation of the city.
