Prison of Vyborg Castle
Prison of Vyborg Castle, Medieval prison tower in Vyborg Castle, Russia
The prison occupies multiple levels within the fortress walls, featuring thick stone walls and narrow corridors that extend through the medieval structure.
Originally constructed as part of the Swedish fortress in 1293, the prison cells housed both military and civilian detainees throughout centuries of conflicts.
