In Vyborg, restoration of the Friedrichsgamsky and Ravelin gates of the Annin fortifications continues. The work is planned to be completed this fall.
Anninskie Fortifications is a bastion fortress, a unique monument of Russian defense architecture, located on Linnasaari Island. The construction of the fortifications began in 1731 according to the project of Major General de Coulon. After his death in 1735, the construction was completed by Christopher Minich. The fortifications are shaped like a crown-arc, which is where the name Annenkron and Kron-Sankt-Anna came from.
