History
Viipurin maalaiskunta is a former Finnish municipality which was ceded to the Soviet Union as part of the Moscow Peace Treaty. It is now known as Vyborg in Vyborgsky District in Leningrad Oblast, Russia. It was most likely organized after the founding of Vyborg castle in 1293. There were several estates controlled by merchant families from Vyborg in the rural municipality. Today, only Monrepos and Kiiskilä Hovi estates exist. The Swedish name is Viborgs landskommun.
