Round Tower

Vyborg, Market Square, 1

Round Tower in Vyborg stands on Market Square. Its walls are four meters thick, cannons were placed in upper tiers. Important negotiations about the Vyborg Treaty took place here in early 1609. Inside there was a large Renaissance hall with paintings depicting historical scenes. After reconstruction in the 1920s it served as a café; later it became an arsenal and customs post after being taken by the Russian army in 1710.
