Krasnoyarskaya Fortress, Russian defensive fortress in Krasnyy Yar, Russia.

The fortress stands on the left bank of the Sok River near the Kondurcha River mouth, featuring a quadrangular shape with diamond-shaped corners.

Built in 1732 following a Senate decree from February 19, 1731, the fortress formed part of the New Zakamskaya defense line spanning 230 kilometers.

The fortress complex housed 64 wooden houses serving as military barracks, with each structure accommodating up to ten soldiers of different regiments.

The remaining earthen ramparts of the fortress are now surrounded by modern sports facilities, including a football stadium and children's playground.

The fortress served as a temporary residence for Kalmyk Khan Donduk-Dashi before his departure to Astrakhan in 1741.
