Korela Fortress

Novgorodians built the current stone bastions and towers in 1364 after a fire had destroyed the original wooden fortress in 1360.

In the 1330s, the Novgorod Republic gave the castle of Korela (and practically the entire Votian fifth [ru], including the forts of Oreshek and Ladoga), to duke Narimantas of Lithuania.

The following year local burghers lodged a complaint about his administration, and Patrikas was forced to exchange Korela for Ladoga and Russa.

In 1408, it is recorded that he settled in Moscow under the protection of Vasili I, together with his younger sons, Georgi and Fyodor, who had grown up in Ingria.

During the subsequent Ingrian War starting 1610, Gustavus Adolphus restored Swedish control of the castle and the whole area.
