Liikkala Fortress, Archaeological fortress in Kouvola, Finland.
The Liikkala Fortress features ground redoubts and four demi-bastions positioned at a strategic crossroad connecting Anjala, Hamina, Kouvola, and Kaipiainen.
The Russian Empire constructed Liikkala Fortress in 1791 as part of the South-Eastern Finland fortification system to protect Saint Petersburg and control regional military routes.
The fortress represents Finnish military architecture from the late 18th century and serves as an educational resource for understanding regional defense strategies.
Visitors can reach the fortress ruins through local transportation from Kouvola, with information panels explaining the site's military significance and construction details.
During the Winter War, the fortress hill gained renewed military importance when it served as a position for an anti-aircraft gun installation.
