Categories / City Topography/Historical Geography/Vacation Houses, Spas and Resorts

ALEXANDROVSKAYA, locality in the southern part of Sestroretsk, bordering on Gorsky Stream on the south and Lake Sestroretsky Razliv on the north, taking up either side of Primorskoe Freeway. The territory comprises a railway station of the same name situated within the railway line connecting St. Petersburg and Sestroretsk. The name of the locality is derived from a summer suburb, which appeared after Primorskaya Railroad was built in 1894. Detached houses prevail among the buildings of the locality, with most part of them constructed at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. Alexandrovskaya accommodates the Retour holiday camp situated on the coast of the Gulf of Finland.
