Belozersk Kremlin, Medieval fortress complex in Belozersk, Russia.
Belozersk Kremlin is a medieval fortress in northern Russia built with earthen ramparts that enclose the site. Inside are several stone churches and various structures spread across a large area bounded by defensive earthworks.
The fortress was built in the 1480s under Ivan III as Moscow expanded its control northward. It served as a key military outpost protecting the frontier of this expanding state.
The site contains several churches including the Cathedral of the Transfiguration, showing how religious buildings were constructed and arranged in this area. The way these structures occupy the fortress space reveals how faith shaped the layout of daily life here.
The site is accessible throughout the year and offers good views from walking along the ramparts. The paths are fairly straightforward to navigate, making a visit possible regardless of season or weather conditions.
The fortress features an ingenious drainage system built with wooden pipes in medieval times that kept the earthen ramparts stable. This technical solution shows how early engineers managed moisture and erosion issues.
