Benua House

The Benois House in Saint Petersburg is a historical and cultural monument of regional significance, designed by the brothers Leontiy and Albert Benois and their cousin Yulia Benois. Since 1956, the S. M. Kirov Memorial Apartment Museum has been operating in the building, and since 1991 it has been a branch of the Museum of the History of Saint Petersburg. Since 1999, the "Ostrov" Theater has been operating on the ground floor from the side of Kamennoostrovsky Avenue, with a museum of writer A. M. Volodin in the foyer, and before 1917, the wing facing Kronverkskaya Street housed infirmaries and the office of the Aral-Caspian Railway survey. The house gained nationwide fame thanks to numerous crime TV series, including "Bandit Petersburg."
