  Peter I Monogram Rock

  A carved monogram and cross on this high rock traditionally mark the command position from which Peter I observed or directed the 1710 bombardment of Vyborg. The carving's personal authorship is legendary rather than proven, but the site became a focus of imperial memory and offers a direct view toward the conquered castle.

  Friedrichshamn Gate

  These gates once controlled the fortified road west toward Friedrichshamn, forcing travellers through successive walls, ditches and a ravelin. The surrounding trenches later acquired a darker history: after White forces captured Vyborg in April 1918, Russian civilians were among those executed near the gates.

  Krepostnoy Bridge in Vyborg

  The first permanent bridge across the Krepostnoy Strait in Vyborg, connecting the historic city center with Tverdysh Island.

  Ravelin Gate

  A traveller leaving eighteenth-century Vyborg had to pass the Friedrichshamn Gate, cross the ditch onto a detached ravelin and then go through this second stone gateway. A new highway cut through the fortifications in 1865, leaving the former military approach as a quiet pedestrian route where the old defensive choreography is still legible.
