Fredrikshamn Gate of Annenkrone

The Fredrikshamn Gate features symmetrical stone architecture with classical columns and detailed reliefs incorporated into its structural design.

The gate, constructed during the 18th century under Russian imperial rule, marks the entrance to Annenkrone fortification built after the Great Northern War.

The gate structure combines elements of Russian military architecture with European classical design principles, reflecting the international influences in Vyborg.

Visitors can reach the gate by following the signs from central Vyborg, with guided tours available at the local tourism office.

The gate stands as one of the few remaining examples of imperial Russian defensive architecture that maintained its original neoclassical elements.
