Villa Ainola

The exact date of construction of the wooden mansion in the style of Russian estates of the XIX century is unknown. Approximately, the construction of the building began in 1907 according to the project of architect Nikolai Salko (several factories and factories in St. Petersburg belong to his authorship). He also became the first owner of the estate. Salko decided to build a house in the neoclassical style for himself, which, one might say, was a curiosity for the Karelian Isthmus, since at that time northern Art Nouveau prevailed in suburban construction.

Even before the October Revolution, the villa changed hands: it was acquired by Aino Granlund and, without thinking twice, named the estate in his honor. So Villa Ainola appeared in the vicinity of St. Petersburg, that is, the "place of Aino".
