Westende Marine Colony

The Westende seaside colony in Zelenogradsk, located in the area of Gagarin Street and the western coast, quickly grew into the most beloved residential area of the Kranz resort. About ten years after its foundation in 1918–1920, it resembled a small town with streets laid out in a grid pattern and garden plots near the houses. The first wooden summer buildings stood right on the cliff by the promenade, and the residential building at 29 Gagarin Street was erected in the 1930s.
