Bomarsund Fortress | Aland

Postcard
The fortress of Bomarsund was built during the years 1832-1854. Åland was Russian at the time and the fortress was intended for the Russian contingents on the islands.

The fortress was thoroughly ruined in 1854 when attacked by the allied English-Frenchmen. At that time only two towers of the planned twelve subsidiary towers of the fortress had been completed.
