Vyborg town wall, Medieval city walls in Vyborg, Russia.

The defensive wall structure stretches around the old town center with remaining sections reaching heights between 5 and 6 meters.

Construction of the fortification began in the 1470s under Erik Axelsson Tott, utilizing builders who previously worked on Saint Olaf's Castle.

The Round Tower and Town Hall Tower from the 1540s remain as preserved sections of the original wall system.

Visitors can explore the Panzerlachs Bastion at the southwest corner of the Horn Fortress, which represents the last standing bastion.

The wall witnessed the notable Viborg blast during the 1495 Russo-Swedish War, when an explosion in one tower caused Russian forces to retreat.

Location: Vyborg

Part of: complexe des portes de Kariaport-tour ronde
