Lighthouse Museum at Fort Konstantin, Kronstadt. St. Petersburg, Russia
30Km (19mi) west from Saint Petersburg, there is a municipal town of Kronstadt, located on the Kotlin Island. Kronstadt is known as sea gates of Saint Petersburg, the only way to get to the city from the sea (Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland).
Peter The Great founded it in the same time as Saint Petersburg with just one fortification called Kronslot which is finally turned into a unique complex of 20 forts on Kotlin Island itself and around it.
Most of fortifications are made for an artillery defense of an approaches to Saint Petersburg. Back in those days there was so called Nortnern War between Sweden and Russia for the lands around Baltics (1700-1721), and demand for such a defense was obvious.
Besides that, for over 300 years history, Kronstadt became Saint Petersburg's main port, the seat of the Russian Admiralty and the base of the Russian Baltic Fleet with a population of 43,000 residents.
Nowadays, with a development of modern weapons, artillery of Kronstadt fortifications became outdates and de-militarized. But with getting a public access to all those forts, it's a great time to learn more about Kronstadt. In the summer time it's going to be the whole series of the videos.
This video about the first lighthouse museum of Russia founded in a former army barracks of 1868 at Fort Konstantin is the beginning.
Lighthouse Museum was founded in July 2017 by initiative of a true fan of lighthouses.

The Forts of Kronshtadt, St. Petersburg
The Kronshtadt fortress is a complex of forts of different centuries located on artificial islands. There are no similar naval constructions in the world built in such adverse climatic conditions. The forts fulfilled their mission in early XVIII century during the attack of Swedish landing troops, and in 1854-1855 when they scared away the joined English-French fleet who tried to attack the city.

An Mi-25 helicopter undertook transporting a Su-27 jet from an airfield in Pushkin to Kronstadt on Tuesday.
The scene turned visually epic as the aircraft reached Kronstadt Naval Cathedral, with the bright blue sky fostering the view.
The off-duty combat of Su-27 was being moved to the Western Military District's military-historical park for an exhibition.

Кронштадт / Kronstadt, 1970
Кронштадт / Kronstadt, 1970
Kronstadt was founded by Peter the Great, who took the island of Kotlin from the Swedes in 1703. The first fortifications were inaugurated on May 18, 1704 and during the latter part of the 19th century was thoroughly refortified.
During the Soviet years, Krodstadt was the base of the Baltic Fleet and an important training centre of the Soviet Navy.
My first sight of Krondstadt was in 1969 when on a school trip to St. Petersburg. Being at the height of the Cold War, we were instructed to remain in our cabins and under no circumstance were we allowed to take photographs of the fleet as we passed by.....

Fort Alexander (Saint Petersburg ) All about रूस में 173 साल पुराना फोर्ट अलेजेंडेर
Since the formation of Saint Petersburg in 1703, the waterways in the Gulf of Finland were of strategic importance for Russia. Peter I initiated the construction of forts in the Gulf of Finland and directed the foundation of the first military installation on the island of Kotlin, Fort Kronshlot, in 1704. Throughout the following two centuries, Russia continued to fortify the area.
Louis Barthelemy Carbonnier d'Arsit de Gragnac (aka Lev Lvovich Carbonnier) drafted the initial blueprint for Fort Alexander. Earlier, he had planned the 1827 reconstruction of another military installation in the Gulf of Finland, Fort Citadel (later Fort Peter I). Upon Carbonnier's death in 1836, Jean Antoine Maurice (aka Moris Gugovich Destrem), a Russian military engineer of French origin, revised the plan for a new fort. The construction began in 1838 and under the supervision of another Russian military engineer, Mikhail von der Veide. The builders drove 5535 piles, each 12-meters long, into the sea bed to reinforce the ground. They then covered the piles with a layer of sand, a layer of concrete blocks, and a layer of granite slabs. The brickwork of the fort received granite face-work. Emperor Nikolay I officially commissioned the fort on 27 July 1845; the fort was named to honor his brother, Emperor Alexander I.

Petrovsky Dock Museum Masterplan [SAB] / 2012-13 // Петровский док / проект музеефикации / Кронштадт
Петровский док — крупнейшее кораблестроительное хозяйство своего времени, уникальный памятник архитектуры и градостроительства, символ — гигантский латинский крест, одетый в гранит.
Любое предложение по переустройству, реставрации и музеефикации Петровского дока, конечно, автоматически превращается в перепланировку и переустройство всего ансамбля центра Кронштадта, настолько важную градообразующую роль играет это не имеющее аналогов пространство.
New masterplan proposal for the centre of Kronshtadt (Kronshtadtskiy rayon, Saint-Petersburg). The main axis of the masterplan is the great historical heritage complex - Petrovsky Dock - the former shipyard facilities dating back to 18-19 century. The masterplan gathers new functional zones in the area of the famous historical industrial and military complex, creating the infrastructure between the city and future museum.The main idea of the proposal is to finally open the
degraded famous heritage site into the city.
