Naval Officers' Assembly (Kronstadt)

The Building of the Naval Officers' Assembly in Kronstadt was constructed in 1785–1788 according to the design of architect M. N. Vetoshnikov as the 3rd Officer's Wing of the Kronstadt Admiralty. In 1856, at the initiative of General-Admiral Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich, it was rebuilt for the needs of the assembly and the Naval Library, and in 1863–1864 a courtyard extension was added. The Grand Hall of the building contains two identical polychrome tile stoves in the Rococo style with a cast-iron grill. After the October Revolution, the institution was transformed into the House of Naval Officers, which operated until its closure in 2011.
