History
In 1807 Emperor Alexander I of Russia signed a decree to additionally fortify Kronstadt expecting a war with Great Britain. The construction started in 1808. The initial parapet of the battery was made of pine timber filled with sand and stone, for speed. It was made in two levels, hence the historical name "Double Southern Battery (Двойная Южная Батарея).[1]
