Fabulous town Andersengrad

 The last time I talked about an interesting place in the Moscow region, where it is difficult to get into.
Near to St. Petersburg also has a "closed" (especially for foreign tourists) place.
It is a fabulous town Andersengrad, founded in 1980, and located in town Sosnovy Bor. Andersengrad first three years was not completed due to lack of funds and human resources (due to the construction of the Leningrad NPP) and so the founders asked for help from  of the inhabitants of Sosnovy Bor. And hundreds of people came after work and gratuitously completed town Andersengrad.
There is a monument to the writer Andersen, Town Hall Tower, a tin soldier, a cafe "Snow White," Ole Lukoye house, summer theater, bastions, bridges, underground passage.
Andersengrad - is an amazing world of fairy tales.
