Two centuries on guard of health
The military sanatorium "Svetlogorsk" has about two centuries of history. Vacationers chose this place back in the early 19th century, when the nearest city was still called Rauschen and was not part of Russia, it was Germany. Officially it is believed that the first tourists arrived on the Baltic Sea coast on June 20, 1820, just then the hotels located here opened their first season. However, it’s really worth counting the history of the resort from the moment when Rauschen - right after the coronation - visited Friedrich-Wilhelm IV (it happened 20 years later). A visit to the crowned person made him a popular destination, and he began to grow rapidly. Thus began the history of the Svetlogorsk boarding house. The central military sanatorium is today considered one of the largest in Russia.
Post-war life
The site of the Svetlogorsk military sanatorium contains more complete information about the institution. The article will dwell on it briefly. The Main Medical Directorate of the Red Army decided to create on the basis of the resort not just a holiday home, but a medical institution - a sanatorium. This decision was supported by the General Staff, as well as the government of the Soviet Union. On November 10, the institution began to operate under the name District Military Sanatorium "Raushen". In subsequent years, the health resort more than once, and not even two, changed its official name. Vacationers called the sanatorium "Northern Sochi", this was facilitated by the reconstruction and construction of new buildings of the resort complex. The confusion with the names ended in the era of the late Union. In 1987, the health resort was renamed the Svetlogorsk Central Military Sanatorium. Under this name, the boarding house exists today.

sights
First of all, history buffs should pay attention to the symbol of the STSVS - the water tower. It was erected at the very beginning of the 20th century, its height is 25 meters, you can just look at it, but you can also improve your health - it is in it that is a mud bath. Also of interest is the local mill. Strange as it may seem, it was with her that the military sanatorium Svetlogorsk began. Initially, the resting place was located on the shore of a local lake; hotels and hotels were not built near the Baltic because of the sand dune, which impedes the transport of food and the arrival of vacationers. However, soon businessmen drew attention to the road to the mill. It existed for a long time, and horse-drawn transport was excellently moving along it . The first hotel was built, after a while the second one grew nearby, and a resort complex was formed. The road to the mill soon lost its importance, as the number of vacationers became such that it was possible to build their own access roads. There is a beach near the mill. In addition, in the sanatorium and Svetlogorsk itself there is also the "Sorceress's Tower", a sundial, as well as a number of sculptures that have historical significance.
