The house of merchant Sebastian Kramer at 50 Bolshaya Morskaya Street in St. Petersburg has been granted the status of a monument of regional significance.
The property consists of two front buildings—an L-shaped one on Bolshaya Morskaya Street and a U-shaped one on the Moika River embankment—as well as two courtyard wings that form a closed courtyard with a complex configuration. The building on Bolshaya Morskaya Street was erected in the early 18th century for Sebastian Kramer, an honorary citizen and merchant of the 1st guild who served as honorary consul of Austria.
In 1854, architect Ernst Schubert designed a project for the construction of a front building on the Moika River embankment.
In 1874, the house on Bolshaya Morskaya Street was rebuilt according to a design by architect Johann Zim for the new owner of the site, 1st guild merchant and French citizen Heinrich Lepine.
