Totleben Fort

Fort Totleben, located in the Gulf of Finland near Kronstadt, has a plan in the shape of the letter "C" facing west, with a total length of frontal and flank facades of 700 meters. By 1915, rangefinder pavilions, "Schuckert" system searchlights, and diesel generators were installed at this defensive structure, and a bakery, a church, and a cinematograph were also operating there. During the Great Patriotic War, the fort supported the 23rd Army defending Sestroretsk with fire, and in the 1960s its metal structures were dismantled. Today, annual youth training camps for volunteer sea rescuers are held on the fort's territory.
