Vorota Tsitadeli "Fridrikhsburg"

Historical landmark

👍 Friedrichsburg Gate is not really a gate, but rather a small part of Friedrichsburg Castle, one element of it. In their architecture they resemble the city gates of Königsberg. Inside there is a branch of the Museum of the World Ocean. Part of the exhibition can be seen in the courtyard. People often mention museum, interesting, gate,

    A picturesque brick-Gothic gate with four turrets is all that remains of the once formidable citadel. Inside the gate there is a museum dedicated to the establishment of the fleet in Russia and Peter the Great. The adjacent territory (where entry is also required by tickets) is almost more interesting than the museum itself: here, in the open air, there are replicas of small ships of different nations and eras. Don't miss one of the Koenigsberg cats - he sticks out through the grated window on the right of the passage arch of the gate, near the entrance to the museum.

    The best gate in Kaliningrad, the cat at the entrance is cute, although the exhibition on Peter 1 inside is a bit sparse, the monuments in front of the entrance are also super!!!

    An interesting museum, compact and ship-oriented, with good exhibitions and videos. Part of the outdoor display includes boats and canoes. One of the advantages of such museums, for example, is that you can visit for a short time, with a child, or in winter, and then move on.

    (Translated by Google) More than anyone else in Konigsberg, these gates resemble a sea fortress. An interesting story, Peter 1 visited the citadel and studied maritime affairs. An interesting and very beautiful place in our city! (Original) Больше всех остальных в Кенигсберге, данные ворота напоминают морскую крепость. Интересная история, Петр 1 бывал в цитадели и обучался морскому делу. Интересное и очень красивое место нашего города!

    A small but interesting exhibition in the museum. Attentive staff. We enjoyed watching a film about the history of the Russian fleet. The gate itself has been perfectly restored.

    Калининград. Фридрихсбургские ворота. Одни из семи сохранившихся городских ворот старого Кёнигсберга. Комплекс являлся частью крепости Фридрихсбург, основанной в 1657 году. Здесь, в 1697 году Пётр I изучал бомбардирское дело .

    A beautiful building and an interesting museum. It’s amazing how these gates were able to survive the harsh war and look undamaged. Inside there is an exhibition dedicated to the fleet and Peter I, who came to Königsberg with the Grand Embassy. The museum, however, is quite small, and its location “out on the outskirts” makes it far from the most popular place for tourists. It's a pity.

    Large beautiful gates, several rooms inside, about two dozen boats of different nations and eras outside. I really want to add some interactivity, because it’s boring to just watch and listen, although the material is very interesting.

    Ryl, very cool place! For everyone who loves castles, old Europe, come here. I personally enjoy it. The photos here are very cool. And being here has a special atmosphere (its own). The fortress-gate belongs to the Museum of the World Ocean and it (the museum) holds all sorts of marshmallow parades and other medieval tea parties here. Take part too! Be a knight after all... Beautiful, powerful, cool! There is no such thing in Russia, only here!

    Nice old place. Our compatriots did their best to restore it. Everything is in place, nothing superfluous. Everything is very interesting. If there is no better time and do not go, as it will be offensive, in this museum you need to absorb the entire era of the fleet.
