Mikhailovskaya Tower: a sample of fortification art

Architectural Monuments • Castles, Fortresses and Palaces • Other places
Directions
Ancient architects who built the Pskov Kremlin were not afraid of an attack from the eastern side, where the land was swampy and boggy. For this reason, on this side they did not build the towers as large as on other directions. So, on the fifth line of the Kremlin's defensive ring there is a small but wide Mikhailovskaya Tower. It is named after the former Mikhailovsky monastery existing here.
Mikhailovskaya Tower was dumb and had four tiers. During the Northern War, Peter the Great ordered to erect earth ramparts near the tower. After 1725 it lost its strategic significance and gradually began to collapse. Today the 11-meter high Mikhailovskaya Tower with walls up to four meters thick is interesting as a bright monument of Russian defensive architecture and a classic sample of the fortification art of the 16th century.
