About the park
On the north-western side of Tverdysh, the shore of Zashchitnaya inlet on Vyborg Bay climbs in moss-covered rocky ledges. Glacial ridges run through the granite landscape, including ridges of rapakivi granite; some rocky formations reach 20 metres. The historic parkland gradually gives way to more than 100 hectares of woodland park, while the reserve also includes part of the inlet and its coastal islands. Here, the shoreline cuts into the rocky ground between forest and open water.

Around 1770, Peter Stupishin, commandant of Vyborg Fortress, established a country estate here and began laying out a park. The slopes and marshy ground were reshaped: fertile soil was added, low-lying areas drained, and the house built on a hill with an artificial terrace. In 1784, the estate passed to Duke Friedrich Wilhelm Karl of Württemberg, who named it Monrepos and extended the park towards the coast, shaping it as a landscape garden. Ludwig Heinrich Nicolai bought the estate in 1788; under his care, the park became a celebrated work of Romantic garden art. In 1834, his son Paul secured its status as a protected, indivisible family estate, intended to preserve the park as a unified work of art.
Rock pigeons, great tits, hooded crows and mallards have been recorded nearby.
