Anui Fortress, Military fortress in Altai Krai, Russia

The fortress features a rectangular layout with high walls, surrounded by earthen ramparts and a deep trench measuring seven feet in depth.

Built in 1748 during the reign of Empress Elizabeth, Anui Fortress formed part of the Kolyvan-Kuznetsk defensive line protecting Russian territories from Dzungar invasions.

The fortress garrison maintained military traditions through regular drills, weapon maintenance, and strategic communications with neighboring outposts along the defense line.

The fortress contained barracks for soldiers, storage facilities for provisions, and a powder magazine, with a northern gate connecting to the Katun fortress.

By 1787, the fortress held two functional artillery pieces and served as a base for the Kolyvan Dragoon Regiment squadrons patrolling the border region.

Inception: 1748
