For Browsing

The Northwest of Russia is a special region. For centuries, Northwestern Rus lived under the threat of enemy invasions, and its task was to defend its borders and establish outposts on conquered territories. It was for this purpose that fortresses began to be built. The fortresses of the Northwest played a huge role in the historical life of the country and at the same time represented magnificent works of architecture. These stone sentinels can tell us a lot of interesting things about the past of our country, about the art of architects, and about fierce battles.
