In Petrozavodsk dismantled the burned walls of the House of the mining chief

Earlier in the capital of Karelia, work began on the conservation of the House of the Mining Chief of the XVIII century - an architectural monument that suffered as a result of the March fire. At the moment, the main task is not to continue the reconstruction, which began in 2025, but to preserve the structure.

As we informed earlier, under the terms of the contract, the work was estimated at 17.8 million rubles. Funding is allocated from the budget of the Republic of Karelia. The process is divided into two stages. The first one is already underway and will end on November 30. The second is scheduled for the period from 1 to 14 December. According to the published technical task, the contractor must perform a set of measures to save the central wooden part of the building. The area of damaged structures exceeds 423 square meters. The total area of the historical monument is 1654.4 square meters.

Recall that the restoration of a unique example of late classicism for Petrozavodsk has been carried out since 2019. After the freezing of work in 2021, the building was mothballed. Restoration resumed in July 2025 was interrupted by a devastating fire in March 2026.
