Built in classical style in the beginning of the XIX century. The gates on the outer facade were decorated with turrets, which have survived to this day partly, since they were badly damaged at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. June 22, 1941, the garrison of the fortress was one of the first to take the blow of the German fascist invaders. Every day defenders of the fortress had to beat 7-8 attacks, flamethrowers were used. The organized defense of the fortress lasted almost a month.
