Maryina Gora Park

Maryina Gora Park in Zelenogorsk is located on the site of the former Marioki estate, which was situated at the beginning of the Sredne-Vyborg Highway near the former Finnish village of Vammelsuu. On a high hill among the pines, architect I. A. Fomin built a two-story wooden mansion with an observation tower, and the Marioki Church was also erected in the strict Pskov style of the 12th–13th centuries, operating until 1939. After 1944, a ski jump descent appeared in place of the Marioki steps, and the writer T. L. Shchepkina-Kupernik, who was a guest here, dedicated a cycle of poems titled "Marioki Fairy Tales" to the estate.
