Rauschen (Svetlogorsk) Gothic Architecture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is one of my all-time favourite buildings in the Kaliningrad region\u2019s coastal resort, Svetlogorsk (German: Rauschen)<\/a>. Without genning up on its history, I would estimate that it dates to around the 1920s and is designed and constructed in a neo-Gothic style. The wooden cladding, turret finial, pointed and high gables, clambering levels and fascinating asymmetry make for a very interesting Carpenter Gothic structure steeped in the Romanticist tradition. Hoffmann would have been proud of it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Svetlogorsk Gothic (Rauschen)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As noted in my previous article<\/a>, at the turn of the 21st<\/sup> century, this was home to the Caf\u00e9 Mozart. It has sat idle and empty for many moons since and was up for sale in 2018, although on our New Year\u2019s Eve trip 2019-2020 to Svetlogorsk , the \u2018for sale\u2019 banner was missing. Has it been sold? Is it \u2018off the market\u2019? Who knows? All I know is that it embodies all the atmospheric architectural features that my imagination needs and craves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
