Inhabited sea fortress built on eight islands
The Swedish crown commenced the construction of the fortress in 1748 as protection against Russian expansionism
The original plan of the bastion fortress was strongly influenced by the ideas of Vauban, the foremost military engineer of the time, and the principles of the star fort style of fortification, albeit adapted to a group of rocky islands
During the Finnish War, Sweden surrendered the fortress to Russia in 1808, paving the way for the occupation of Finland by Russian forces in 1809, and the eventual cession of Finland to Russia at the conclusion of the war
Russia held the fortress until Finnish independence in 1918
