Gostiny Dvor

Gostiny Dvor

Gostinyi dvor (Russian: Гостиный двор) is a historic Russian term for an indoor market, or shopping centre. It is translated from Russian either as "Guest Court" or "Merchant Yard", although both translations are admittedly inadequate. Such structures, constructed in every large Russian town during the first decades of the 19th century, are fine examples of Neoclassical architecture.

The term Gostiny Dvor may refer to:

  • Arkhangelsk Gostiny Dvor, a network of fortified depots built in Arkhangelsk, Russia
  • Great Gostiny Dvor, the oldest and largest shopping centre in St. Petersburg, Russia
  • Kostroma Gostiny Dvor, the best preserved complex of provincial Neoclassical trading arcades in Russia
  • Moscow Gostiny Dvor, the Old Merchant Court in Moscow, Russia
