Prison building, Historical prison complex in Tobolsk, Russia.
The stone prison building features strong walls, iron-barred windows, and multiple cell blocks arranged within a rectangular fortified perimeter.
Between 1838 and 1855, authorities constructed this prison facility, which remained operational until 1989, housing both political and regular inmates.
The prison cells contain original metal bunk beds and heavy iron doors, displaying photographs of former inmates on the exterior walls.
Visitors can explore the prison through guided tours, which include access to the cell blocks and museum exhibits about penal history.
The facility maintains preserved punishment cells where guests can experience overnight stays in the same spaces that once held Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
