Вильманстрандская крепость (Лаппеэнранта)

A fortress on a headland of Lake Saimaa, founded by Sweden after 1721; from 1741 the fortifications were built by the Russian side, under the Treaty of Åbo of 1743 the town passed to Russia, and from 1812 it was within the Grand Duchy of Finland. In the 1790s the fortress was strengthened under Alexander Suvorov: the Nikolai ramparts and the Pallo and Kimpinen outworks were built. Five barracks and a guardhouse of the late 18th century, artillery depot buildings of the early 19th century, the Orthodox church of 1785 and brick barracks of the 1910s built for Russian troops survive.
