The 152 mm howitzer-gun M1937 is a Soviet field artillery weapon from the mid-20th century on display in the Kronverk district. This piece shows a long barrel mounted on a substantial metal carriage system, designed to handle both high-explosive rounds and anti-tank ammunition.
This weapon was designed in the Soviet Union in the late 1930s to meet evolving demands for flexible field artillery. It played a major role in conflicts through the Second World War and remained in active service across Soviet forces for decades afterward.
This piece stands outdoors in Kronverk and is accessible for viewing from multiple angles throughout the day. Take time to walk around the entire weapon to appreciate its scale and engineering, as different positions reveal distinct structural details.
