A. von Oldenburg summer cottage
antti:
Alexsander von Oldenburg and Yevgenia Maximilianova Romanovskaya bought this house in 1915. They escaped there the revolution. They owned it until 1929.
It is said that there is still lot of furniture and other items left used by Oldenbugs.

I suppose this couple were the parents of Prince Peter of Oldenburg who was the first husband of Nicholas II's younger sister Olga (divorced 1916).Prince Alexander was granted the right to "Imperial Highness" in 1914.

Sorry about my ignorance, but where is Rantallina?
Thank you

It's situated in the south-eastern part of Finland, in Ruokolahti parish, which is quite near the Imatra town (Imatra is famous for it's rapids, and the Russian imperial family visited it quite many times in 1800's and in the beginning of 1900's.) Ruokolahti and Imatra are near the Finnish-Russian border. You can read more about it if you follow Antti's link, it's in english.
