Numerous pensions, motels, beautiful hotels and fashionable private homes adorned the coast of Kranza in less than half a century.

During a tour of Zelenogradsk we will see the architectural appearance of the city, which has been pretty well preserved from German times. In 1885 a railway was built that connected the sea resort with Königsberg. All contributed to the fact that the German Kranz became a favorite vacation spot. Traveling around the historical center of the former German resort, you will see the former fashionable Baltic Sea Hotel, where Stolypin stayed with his wife and daughter during his visit to Kranz. In honor of this fact, a memorial plaque was erected on the historic building.
