At first glance, we see an ordinary five-story house built in the last century, owned by the bourgeois A. Nyrnov said. But if we look closer, we will see an example of the creative approach of architects of that time to the design of private buildings. The house is decorated with the composition “Horse Tamers”, the facade is decorated with the heads of lions and gorgons.

But the house is interesting not only for its exterior design, but also for its visitors. Over the years, many famous people have visited it: microbiologist and epidemiologist Mikhail Choyur, who worked on vaccines against many infections, Yuri Libedinsky, author of military stories and stories about civil revolution. The famous writer Anna Akhmatova spent one night here.

Guides are saddened by the fact that people ask about the building and visit it less and less, because this is part of our history. Therefore, when you walk along Sivtsev Vrazhka Lane, take a couple of minutes of your time to Alexey Nyrnov's apartment building.
