Grave of Love

Zelenogorsk, Molodyozhnoye, Sredneviborgskoye Highway, Maryina Gora

"Grave of Love" is a sculptural tombstone of writer Maria Krestovskaya in Mariokhi, which became known under this name. The pedestal of the monument is a stone from which Maria and Evgeny Kartavtsev admired the expanses of the Gulf of Finland, and their estate in Vamelsuu covered 65 hectares. During the Winter War, the church in Mariokhi was destroyed, and only the granite rock with inscriptions survived from the original monument, as the bronze monument disappeared. Today, on the slope towards the Gulf of Finland, one can see the ruins of the Joy of All Who Sorrow Church and fragments of the old park.
