The fortification bastion was built in the 16th century as part of the city’s defensive wall system, which consisted of 10 gates. The wall formed a closed circle – almost two and a half kilometres in perimeter – around the entire city. The bastion suffered greatly from 1655 to 1661 during a war with Russia. In the late 18th century, the bastion area was turned into a city dump. It was rebuilt in the 20t century and turned into a museum in 1987.
