Krasnaya Gorka fort

Krasnaya Gorka (Красная Горка meaning Red Hill) is a coastal artillery fortress in Lomonosovsky District, Leningrad Oblast, Russia.

It is located on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, opposite Kotlin Island and the Baltic Fleet's base at Kronstadt.

Although the Estonian Army and the British Royal Navy actively supported the White Russian Northern Corps in the area, their attacks were not able to aid the mutineers.

[1] Later in autumn 1919 the forts were unsuccessfully attacked by the 1st Division of the Estonian Army, supported by bombardment by HMS Erebus.

During World War II the fort played a vital part in defending the Siege of Leningrad and maintaining the Oranienbaum Bridgehead.
