Annenkrone, Federal cultural heritage site in Siikaniemi, Russia
The fortification of Annenkrone features four bastions, three ravelins facing west, and a protective moat on its northern perimeter.
German engineer Burkhard Christoph von Münnich supervised the construction of Annenkrone, which was completed in 1741 under the reign of Anna of Russia.
The fortification stands as a testament to Russian military architecture, reflecting the engineering standards and defensive strategies of the 18th century.
Visitors can access the site year-round to explore the preserved fortification structures and learn about its military significance through informational displays.
During the Finnish Civil War in 1918, the site became the location of the Vyborg massacre, where 400 Russian civilians lost their lives.
