Inside the fortress is a canal with wooden undraw bridges, wooden
structures of Apostles Peter and Paul Church (existed from 1703,
moved from the fortress in 1720), wooden palaces (along the canal)
where the Senate and other institutions would take places. A project
of brick-stone fortress and earthen crownwork is dotted, designed
brick structures in the fortress and Apostles Peter and Paul Church
(laid on 29 of June 1703) are marked with red. The brick fortress
with the stone facing designed by the Dutch (Kugorm) and French
(Vauban) fortification system would have 6 bastions of the same
names the earthen fortress has. The earthen crownwork was designed
with a central bastion and 4 side half-bastions, with lunets and
two water ditches (outer and inner).
Annotation:

and finished until 1730. Crownwork’s construction was begun
