Old Woman Moneylender's House

The old pawnbroker's house in Saint Petersburg is located at 104 Griboedov Canal Embankment. The version that this particular building is described in the novel was put forward by the literary scholar V. E. Kholshevnikov in 1959. The foundation and walls of the lower floors of the building have been preserved since Griboedov's time, and the path of 730 steps mentioned in the work corresponds to the shortest route from Raskolnikov's house. The object is included in the Unified State Register of Cultural Heritage Objects, but there are no plans to create a museum in it.
