Description

The Bip Castle was constructed in 1795-1797 under the project of architect V. F. Brenna by the order of emperor Paul I. There were remains of old sweden fortification on the place of construction. This place is rather convenient for such kind of buildings. The Castle was included in the military register of fortresses of the Russian Empire and there was small garrison under command of commandant Arakcheev. The drawbridge was lifted at the sunset and gun fired a shot on midday.

After October 1917 coup d’etat there were orphaned house, military komissariat, sovdep(local council of 'peoples' deputies). During WWII the Bip Castle has burned down, but today it is restored as a hotel.
