The issue of the construction of
fortifications in Kovna was discussed
at the end of the XVIII century, but
became especially relevant after the
war with Napoleon, during which the
Napoleonic army crossed the Neman
River in the Kovna area without
hindrance. The construction of one of
the first railway tunnels in the
Russian Empire and the laying of the
St. Petersburg-Warsaw railway line
further strengthened the strategic
importance of Kovno. Therefore, in
1879, it was decided to erect a firstclass fortress here (1880-1918).
