Annotation:
The draft project signed in Stockholm March 19, 1671. The project
of the construction of new Nyenskans fortification system was
initiated by E. Dahlberg, worked out by U. Schtahl (?). It was
proposed to decline fortification works located around the town,
their construction was started in 1658-1661 and ended up to 1666.
Another fortification system including Nyenskans Citadel fortification,
simultaneously with forefortress works – three-bastion Crownwork
on the same cape between Neva R. and Black Stream, was more progressive.
Inside the Crownwork a residential district was designed, for
the town and town buildings were meant to move to Nyenskans Crownwork’s
territory, because the town and its fortifications couldn’t
ensure enough defence.
Literature:
Munte, Lappo-Danilevsky, Hipping.
