Northern Fort (Liepājas Ziemeļu Forti) Stock Photo

The Northern Fort is an integral part of the Liepaja Fortress. In November 1908 the fortress was liquidated, as its construction had been acknowledged a strategic mistake. A part of the cannons were dismantled and delivered to the Kaunas Fortress in Lithuania, while the other part was recast. However, the desired result was reached and, this way, the remains of the Tsarist Russia fortress and also the later, more modern fortress, still stand today.(Liepājas ziemeļu Forti)
