Struka Mansion
The elegant building appeared in St. Petersburg at the beginning of the 20th century. The mansion was built for the owner of the sandpaper factory N. N. Struka. Being of German origin, Struk preferred to work with Germans, so he ordered the construction of the mansion from immigrants from Germany. The building was erected by architect F. K. von Pirwitz.
The Struka Mansion is one of the few Art Nouveau buildings in wood. Together with Ekval's house on the same street, it belongs to a rare type of construction — mansions attached to an industrial enterprise.
Another distinguishing feature of this building is that it is made in the so-called manor style, the appearance of this small city mansion is very similar to a country estate. An elegant wooden structure with a hipped porch and intricate saw cut carvings. It overlooks a quiet side street, where you can take a walk like a quiet rural street.
The building is empty now. In May 2016, the mansion partially collapsed, so today it is covered with scaffolding and green nets.
