Many people watching this video will already know that Zelenogradsk, formerly known as Cranz, is a town with a truly unique story. It’s fascinating, isn’t it? When a place undergoes such dramatic transformations—shaped by German heritage, Soviet influences, and its modern identity—what remains of its past, its architecture, and its charm?

Some people might assume, for a variety of reasons, that a town like Zelenogradsk is simply a quiet seaside retreat. But I’m going to show you how this small, picturesque town on the Baltic coast has reinvented itself as something truly special—a Cat City. Yes, you heard that right. From streets adorned with feline-themed decorations to the friendly cats that roam freely, Zelenogradsk has embraced its reputation as a haven for cat lovers. And, of course, I couldn’t resist feeding the cats myself!

But that’s not all. As we wander through the town, you’ll see echoes of its German roots in beautifully preserved buildings, as well as iconic Soviet-era landmarks that tell the story of its 20th-century transformation. From seaside charm to historical intrigue, Zelenogradsk is a place where past and present blend seamlessly.

Join me as we explore this fascinating town, meet its beloved cats, and take a stroll through its rich history—from Cranz to Zelenogradsk.
