Officers' Wings (Kronstadt)

The Officers' Wings in Kronstadt are a complex of residential buildings on Sovetskaya Street, built according to the designs of architects Anert and Vetoshnikov, which differed in the number of axes on the facades. The fifth and sixth wings were designed in the last quarter of the 18th century, but were built already under Nicholas I, and the fifth wing at the address Sovetskaya Street, 39 dates back to 1837–1841. In the 1810s, the Naval Assembly arranged amateur performances and balls in one of these buildings. Initially, their construction was part of the preparation for the relocation of the Admiralty, but after the abandonment of this plan, only six officers' and six servants' wings were built. As of 2018, with the exception of the third building, they have not been rebuilt and have retained their residential function.
