Potolky kronverk


The Kronverk (Russian: Кронверк, from the German word for Crownwork) is a ground fortification for the Sts. Peter and Paul Fortress in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The Kronverk is situated on Petrogradsky Island, across the Kronverksky Strait from the Peter and Paul Fortress. It was built in 1705-08, with reconstructions in 1752 and 1800.
