Utti Fortress, Military fortification in Kouvola, Finland.

The stone fortress stands on a hill, featuring defensive walls, artillery positions, and military structures designed for strategic surveillance of the region.

Russian forces constructed Utti Fortress between 1791 and 1792 as part of the South-Eastern Finland fortification system to counter potential Swedish advances.

Utti Fortress represents Finnish military heritage through its architecture and design, reflecting the defensive strategies of the late 18th century.

Visitors can access the fortress grounds daily, with guided tours available that explain the military installations and defensive features throughout the site.

The fortress includes two outer redoubts that were specifically designed to delay enemy forces until reinforcements could arrive from Taavetti Fortress.
