Annotation:
The state designed plan, designated for consideration of the people
of higher rank. The designed plan was signed in Stockholm on 17
of February 1698. The town of Nyen remained unfortified to that
time. Then a project of full reconstruction of the fortified point
on the Neva, which had to incorporate radical reconstruction of
Nyenskans and its Crownwork, was offered. In place of three-bastion
Crownwork a six-bastion fortress was to be made. A redoubt in
front of the fortress was designed. Nyenskans as well was meant
to be reconstructed, turning it into three-bastion redoubt.
