Sphinx Sculptures

The central entrance to Larch Park, from Oktyabrskaya Street, is decorated with two sphinx sculptures. The artificial-stone sculptures appeared at the entrance to Larch Park in Rauschen, to the right and left of the central path, in the 1930s. They had originally been installed in 1906 by the Dune hotel complex on Plyazhnaya Street, now Lenina Street. In 1991, they were returned to their historic location. In September 2022, the sculptures were dismantled and moved to the Kaliningrad Regional Museum of Fine Arts. Marble copies made in Italy took their places on the pedestals at the park entrance. Today, the sphinxes have the status of an identified cultural heritage site.
