Vyborg City Info
Vyborg is a town with 70,000 inhabitants on the Karelian Isthmus in Russia, near the head of the Bay of Vyborg, 130 km to the northwest of Saint Petersburg, 38 km south from Russia's border with Finland, where the Saimensky Canal enters the Gulf of Finland.The first castle of Viborg was founded during the third Swedish crusade in 1293 by the marshal Torkel Knutsson. The castle was fought over for centuries between Sweden and the Republic of Novgorod. By the treaty of Noteborg in 1323 Viborg was finally recognized as a part of Sweden. The town's trade privileges were chartered by King Eric of Pomerania in 1403. Viborg remained in Swedish hands until its storm by Peter the Great in the Great Northern War (1710). The Treaty of Nystad (1721), which concluded the war, assigned the town to Russia. After the rest of Finland was ceded to Russia in 1809, Alexander I of Russia incorporated the town and county into the newly-created Grand Duchy of Finland in 1812.
