history

The place was first mentioned in Swedish documents from 1676 in the spelling Werektca . The name goes back to the Finno-Ugric võru for ring , like the name of the Estonian city Võru .

At the beginning of the 20th century, the lands around Wyriza belonged to Prince Fjodor Wittgenstein from the Russian branch of the Sayn-Wittgenstein family . After the opening of the railway line (Saint Petersburg -) Pavlovsk  - Dno  - Vitebsk of the then private Moscow-Windau-Rybinsk Railway in 1904, a "model garden city " for wealthy Petersburg residents was to emerge from 1906 near the village of Wyriza . The plans were only partially implemented and were interrupted by the First World War and the October Revolution in 1917.

In 1938 Wyriza received the status of an urban-type settlement as a " Datschensiedlung ". During the Second World War , the place was occupied by the German Wehrmacht during the Leningrad blockade from August 1941 to January 29, 1944 .
