Shlisselburg (Oreshek) Fortress

Located on an island not far from Shlisselburg, the Oreshek fortress was founded in the 14th century. After it was recaptured from the Swedes by Peter I in 1702, it became a key fortress protecting St. Petersburg and a high-security prison.

Me and my wife loved it unconditionally and unequivocally. I'd hate to repeat other people's reviews so therefore just note that it's worth coming to the far, Ladoga-facing point of that isle to see how strong current of the Neva river is. It is easy to find - avoid the fortress, go from the pier to the left along the wall till a brown granite obelisk and there you are. The citadel as such was impressive though we were unpleasantly surprised by an excessive stress upon communist years and the latest war - in detriment of other periods of its seven years' old history. And, my God! - there're only ruins everywhere! Local guides' explanations that this is the result of Nazi bombardment and shelling do not hold water. The fortress has been ruined at least twice - by the Swedes in 1613 and by Russians in 1703 - but has always been fully restored. Aren't today's builders less knowledgeable than Novgorodians or just cack-handed? Do the job and it will be a diamond in the Russian tourist crown! Open-air concerts of classical music, medieval tournaments, historical quests for kids, festivals - horizons are limitless if there are corresponding facilities in place. And just think about fireworks there. On V-Day, for example. All this will not hurt the memory of the deceased at all - provided serious events are arranged. Just use a balanced approach. And find some money (easier said than done).
