Abstract
Vyborg is a town unique in the entire region of Scandinavia and Baltic littoral, as well as in North- Western Russia, since it was founded and built on the outcrop of the Baltic Shield with its uneven surface. The founda- tion of the town was related with the construction of the Vyborg Castle in 1293 and the endeavour of the Swedes to strengthen themselves in this territory won from Novgorod. The history of the development of the urban architecture presented in this paper, as well as its peculiarities and the techniques employed by the builders, will interest all those who are concerned with cities of the region of the Baltic Sea and North-Western Russia.
