the fortress are canal with four wooden bridges, the building
of planned or constructed Peter and Paul Cathedral (1712-1733,
D. Trezzini), auxiliary structures on the northern bank of the
fortress’ canal (from 1704) including the house of the fortress’
commandant Bruce (from 1704), provision storehouses on the southern
bank of the canal and the garrison office, where the Senate was
located in 1711-1718.
Annotation:
The plan of S-Petersburg fortification with a hornwork is a project
with rendering of the constructed fortification fragments, buildings
and structures inside. The plan can be dated as 1708-1720 by its
rendering. In 1708 a project of the Fortress with two hornworks
(west and east) was submitted, in 1710 a project of the fortress
with east hornwork and south-west crownwork was submitted, in
1720s (till 1726) in place of the hornwork a lunet already existed.
Perhaps, the planned hornwork was replaced with the lunet between
1722-1726, so the plan was dated 23 of May 17(2)2. From 1718 the
commandant’s house was used for Secret Office. Later after
1718 the chief-commandant’s house was built here.
