    Look at the Korela fortress. The ancient Russian fortification was built by the Novgorodians back in 1310 on Zamkov island. In XVI-XVII centuries the Swedes rebuilt the fortress according to the bastion system, lined the ramparts with granite, built stone towers, an arsenal and a powder cellar.
    In the end of XIX century Kexholm (the former name of Priozersk) together with the ancient fortress became a part of independent Grand Duchy of Finland - it was Finnish up to September 24, 1944. The fortress is small and compact. Of particular interest to visitors is invariably the torture chamber and observation decks.

    Let's take a walk around the city and remember its history. As part of Finland, Priozersk (which the Finns renamed Kyakisalmi) experienced an economic boom. Here actively developed a railway connection with the cities of both countries, built sawmills. At the end of 1930 majestic Lutheran church appeared in the heart of the town - it still stands here.
    And also remained here, designed by Finnish architects in 1916, the building of the railway station. It is a 2-minute drive from the old church.
