        • The house was built in the first third of the 19th century and until the century's end belonged to the Zotov peasants, who became fish traders.
        • The building is protected as a regional monument — "inn (Zotov fishmongers' house)".
        • The residents were moved out in 1987; six years later the house was declared a monument, but conservation never began.
        • In January 2026 the city's 74% share of the house went to a private owner at auction, and in summer the building was fenced off.

        • The settlement appeared in 1715–1716, when Peter the Great settled about two hundred fishermen's families here to supply Petersburg with fish.
        • The 8.75-metre granite obelisk was erected in 1791 at Catherine II's wish.
        • Every fifth man of the settlement went to war: 38 men, of whom 33 returned.
        • The author is thought to be Antonio Rinaldi or Vallin de la Mothe; an identical obelisk stands in Ust-Izhora.
        • The plaque was torn off in 1917, restored in 1954, torn off again, and the present marble one was installed in 1989.

        • The village's old Pokrov Church was closed in 1934 and demolished; its site ended up under Rybatsky Avenue.
        • The church echoes the Church of Mary Magdalene in Darmstadt, built to a design by Leonty Benois in 1897–1903.
        • It was built from 2005 to 2016 on small donations: the parish had no major benefactor.
        • The church is 43.74 m tall, or 54.24 m above the level of the Neva.
